Spain vs Croatia LIVE: Euro 2024 stream, latest score, team news and updates

Scotland fans pack Munich bar ahead of Euros opener against hosts Germany

Spain get their Euro 2024 campaign underway on Saturday as they face one of the 2022 World Cup semi-finalists in Croatia.

Luis de la Fuente has plenty of tremendous attacking options in his squad; one of the most difficult parts of his job this month might be deciding which to use and how to align them without sacrificing defensive balance. Spain aren’t among the very favourites but have plenty of reason to feel they can go deep in the tournament – we might learn much from this opening game about their chances.

Croatia, meanwhile, have a very familiar-looking squad which is packed with experience, but they will have questions over them of whether it has evolved enough as a squad and has enough goals. Luka Modric remains a key component for them and can win a game on his day – as many of Spain’s stars know all too well, of course. Follow all the build-up to Spain vs Croatia below including the latest updates from the early kick-off between Hungary and Switzerland:

Euro 2024: Hungary 0-2 Switzerland

Poor from Szoboszlai as he wastes the corner and then miscontrols to give possession back to the Swiss. The Hungarian captain has been out of sorts so far today.

From a free-kick in their half, Hungary give it straight to Ndoye, but he blasts a shot over the bar from outside the area.

Sallai is clipped on the edge of the box and Hungary have a dangerous free-kick. Szoboszlai swings it in, and it’s turned behind for a corner.

Another great chance for the Swiss as Xhaka finds Vargas in the box, but his shot is too close to Gulasci.

It’s offside, but that’s better from Hungary. Sallai scurrying down the left and he drags it back to Szoboszlai.

But he doesn’t take it on first time and the angle disappears, pulling it wide.

This is impressive from Switzerland, a fast start which could kill the game off.

Hungary out of position and struggling to track the runners.

Duah and Vargas with shots blocked already.

Hungary make a change: Bolla is on, with Lang making way. An adventurous wing-back, then, looking for more penetration and to push Switzerland back.

GOAL! That is a stunner from Aebischer!

Aebischer curled that beautifully, wrapping it inside the post, with the shot finding the bottom right corner. Magic!

What a chance! Hungary should be level, a curling cross from the left and Orban wriggles free.

He doesn’t adjust his body in time and then reaches low with his neck to head towards goal. No power or direction added from the delivery and that’s easy for Sommer.

Kerkez working hard down the left now and a good ball into the box.

Schar clears well, but there’s a nice flow to this game now, back and forth with both sides taking it in turns to sweep the ball around the pitch in Cologne. Good football.

Switzerland now working their way down the right and Widmer having some joy.

He’ll wind up the long throw to test Hungary, too, but it’s headed clear. Akanji marshalling the back three nicely.

Vargas looks lively in the box too, Hungary scrambling it clear as the Swiss aim to cut through the lines.

Beautiful from Ndoye there to clip the ball around Szalai at the byline. He’s playing with real freedom.
