Before that, both teams entered the match with a very tense situation, without many clear scoring opportunities from the young players on both sides. Curtis Jones' goal was the only highlight in the first half.

Up to 7 yellow cards were shown to players from both teams. Member of the England U21 team's coaching staff, former player Ashley Cole was also sent off the field after scoring the opening goal because of a brawl that broke out outside the field.

The Spanish U21 team tried to put more pressure in the second half with the dynamism of Abel Ruiz. However, the England U21 midfield with star midfielders Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Gordon played solidly to limit the opponent's attack.

The drama unfolded at the end of the match when the Spanish U21 team was awarded a penalty after the referee reviewed the VAR, determining that player Levi Colwill (U21 England) committed a foul in the penalty area. However, goalkeeper James Trafford became the hero of the English U21 team when he successfully blocked Abel Ruiz's free kick, helping the home team to defend the 1-0 victory and win the championship.
