, which Calafiori turned into his own net as Spain made it six points from six and booked their place in the round of 16 with a game to spare., but they will have few complaints about the result at the Arena AufSchalke. It could -- and should -- have been more. Spain ended the game with 21 shots to Italy's three.
The pattern was set. Another brilliant solo run followed, Di Lorenzo looking dizzy, and Williams then headed a Morata cross wide when he could have done better. "It's great to watch them play, we're just missing a goal," he told reporters at half time."But the sensations are good and the chances we have created... it's been a great first half."
Spanish newspaper Marca had seen it coming."Two Ferraris against Italy," was the headline on their front page on Thursday alongside a picture of Williams and Yamal, a nod to the Italian supercar. They may not yet be established at the top level like Rodri, who is widely seen as the one world class player on this team, have the experience of Morata or the Golden Boy awards of Pedri, but they are increasingly the poster boys of this Spain team.
