In the first key match of the second round of Group B of the European Cup, which ended in the early morning of June 21, Beijing time, Spain defeated the Italian team 1-0. In the other matchup in the second round of the same group that ended last night, Croatia was beaten by Albania after overtaking the score 2-1 at one point, and the two sides drew 2-2.

At the end of the 2 rounds, Spain won 2 consecutive games, scored 6 points, scored 4 goals and conceded 0 goals, temporarily ranked first, while Italy scored 2 goals and conceded 2 goals with 1 win and 1 loss, with a goal difference of 0, temporarily ranked second. Albania and Croatia both have 1 point from 1 draw and 1 loss, with Albania having a goal difference of -1 while Croatia having a goal difference of -3.

After 2 rounds, Spain qualified 1 round early and locked the top spot, while the remaining 3 teams did not go out early. According to the rules, the top 2 teams from each of the 6 groups and the 3rd place from the best 4 groups will advance to the round of 16. In the final round, Italy played Croatia, while Spain played Albania.

Italy are in the best position in the final round and only need a draw against Croatia to qualify. Because even if Albania beats Spain and the two teams are tied on 4 points, Italy can still rely on the advantage of each other to beat Albania to finish second in the group.

The situation in Albania and Croatia is not optimistic. Both teams must win in the final round, and a loss is sure to be out, and a draw with their opponents will make Croatia a sure exit, while Albania will have a hard time qualifying for the round of 16 with only two points and the third place in the group with four best results.
