A late goal from substitute Mikel Oyarzabal proved the difference between the two sides, although Spain dominated possession and had better chances throughout the final.

The first half ended goalless after cautious starts from both teams.

Spain then opened the scoring just moments after the restart through winger Nico Williams.

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was forced into action again soon after as Spain pressed for another goal. 

England levelled the score with just under 20 minutes to go, thanks to a shot from Cole Palmer outside the penalty area.

The Chelsea forward had come off the bench just two minutes earlier as head coach Gareth Southgate refreshed England's attacking line. 

But with just four minutes left inside Berlin's Olympic stadium, Spain took the lead again.
