    SPAIN CRUISE TO VICTORY
    An emphatic second-half display from Spain saw them thump neighbours Andorra 5-0 at the Estadio Nuevo Vivero.
    A debut goal from Ayoze Perez was accompanied by a hat-trick from Mikel Oyarzabal before Ferran Torres wrapped up the win with a fifth.
    Spain boss Luis de la Fuente is leading his country into a major tournement for the first time this summer and they are seen as one of the quiet favourites.
    With plenty of experience and exciting young players, Spain have a good mix capable of hurting most sides.
    However, they will have to navigate a tough group first facing Italy, Croatia and Albania.

    SPAIN LEAD AT THE BREAK
    The hosts are ahead at the break thanks to a debut goal from Ayoze Perez who has most definitely been the best player out there so far.
    Andorra will be happy it's only one after skipper Morata found the back of the net only for it to be ruled out for offside.
    If La Roja are to go far in this summer's Euros then they will need to show more conviction in Germany.

    WILL SPAIN BE HAPPY?
    The hosts can't be displeased with this first half performance given they are winning, but you'd expect more goals as the game goes on and fresh legs are brought onto the field.

    MORATA OFFISDE
    Alvaro Morata puts the ball into the back of the net but the flag is up. Pedri's ball over the top was beautifully met by the Spain captain but he didn't time his run right.
