90 +5 phenomenal minutes of football from both teams. One of the commentators said that the best team doesn't always win, but as excellently as Switzerland played I honestly believe that Spain were the best team. They didn't have as much possession as they have been used to through out this tournament, which was to be expected from the beginning of the game considering the quality of the Swiss team, but they definitely showed more skill and capitalised on the chances they were given, which is what football is really about. Both teams really are world class and deserved to be in the final. But in the end, the best team won.
The first goal came towards the end of the first half with a beautiful cross from Didac and a clean header from Herrera to put Spain in the lead before half time. Switzerland looked as though they were gonna make a comeback in the second half, but Spain came back, showing their dominance 10 minuted into the second half. Spain sealed their win with Thiago's free kick which caught the Swiss keeper off guard. The game ended 2-0 with the Spanish U21's the champions of Europe.
Throughout the tournament Spain really has been, as the commentator put it, "a 24 carat gold team."
