Sweden top Group E ahead of Spain after sending Poland home with a stoppage time winner in one of the tournament’s most exciting games

Bengaluru — Spain claimed the biggest win of the tournament with a 5-0 thrashing of Slovakia in their final European Championship Group E match on Wednesday to finish second in the group and set up a last-16 clash with Croatia in Copenhagen.

Dubravka saved an early penalty from Alvaro Morata but gifted Spain the opener when he attempted to punch a rebound off Sarabia’s shot over the bar, only to palm it into his own net. Sarabia turned provider when he set up substitute Ferran Torres, who scored within a minute of coming on, flicking a low cross past Dubravka for the fifth. Spain forced another own-goal minutes later when Kucka failed to clear off the line.

Sweden appeared to be cruising after Emil Forsberg scored the second fastest goal in Euros’ history a mere 82 seconds in, followed by a second-half breakaway strike.
