Spain v Northern Ireland live – Latest updates as Pedri hits double for five-star Spain in dominant win in Mallorca ahead of Euro 2024 opener

On-fire Spain hit back from conceding a shock opener to complete a 5-1 friendly rout of an outclassed Northern Ireland side in their final Euro 2024 warm-up match in Palma.

There were only 66 seconds on the clock when Daniel Ballard rose to loop a header into the net to stun a sweltering Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, but Luis de la Fuente's fast-moving side recovered quickly from shipping the first goal as Pedri equalised on 12 minutes with a lovely long-range strike.

A 5-1 win for rampant Spain, who head for Germany and their Group B opener against Croatia on Saturday in Berlin at Euro 2024 in fine fettle. That should be a thrilling contest.

Northern Ireland might be tempted to head for their nearest ice cold bath in Palma. Wouldn't be the worst idea after this run-out.

Will there be added time in this contest? Northern Ireland won't complain if he cuts this short. Nothing else to see here apart from perhaps a sixth goal for Spain.

Which is easier said than done on such a hot night against an opponent who are completely in control of the football. Technique of the home side has been exceptional in forcing Northern Ireland to cover so much ground.

Conor McMenamin wins his 14th cap for Northern Ireland as he replaces Isaac Price.

Some real vocal support from the visiting fans, many of who are probably enjoying some holiday time in Mallorca while attending this match. There is always a refreshment in Spain.

They've not raised the white flag, but they didn't have to. Spain were out of sight in this friendly long ago. The match officials could do Northern Ireland a favour by not adding on any time.

But Joselu blazes the finish over the bar from the Merino pass when a sixth goal seemed certain for the Spanish.

Not sure what managers learn from such nights that we didn't know before. Brodie Spencer takes over from Trai Hume for Northern Ireland.

Despite being outclassed, the visitors have enjoyed a few moments going forward as Simon is forced to make a decent stop to keep out the shot by Price from the Taylor set-up pass.

The crowd are thrilled with his contribution tonight as he makes way for Joselu. Warming up nicely for his trip to Germany.

Superb touch to take the ball away from Lewis on the run, and that brings gasps of excitement from the home fans, who loved that piece of skill. Looks completely at one with the football.

Since Dan Ballard headed Northern Ireland in front in Palma. In fact, almost feels like a different match such has been the home team's dominance.

Álex Grimaldo sees a shot fly over the bar before the visitors make two changes with Dale Taylor replacing Jamie Reid and Ross McCausland taking over from Conor Bradley.

It has been a hot night for Northern Ireland in more ways than one as they slurp some more water heading for the final 25 minutes of what is a filleting more than a friendly.

Price has picked up a booking for a late challenge on Yamal. Frustration is obvious.

Mikel Merino replaces Pedri for Spain, who could score any amount they want here.

Oyarzabal punishes some more bad defending by the visitors as he knocks the ball into the net from the Yamal cutback. Poor defending really in failing to clear and it is 5-1 to Spain.

Such a hot night in Palma and they won't be wanting to take any risks as they continue to work space in the final third.
