SPAIN 1 PORTUGAL 0 | UEFA U-19 EURO CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Spanish U-19 National Football Team got off to a great start in the UEFA U-19 European Championship being held in Lithuania. Spain played its first group match against Portugal & won 1 - 0 to get the three points.

The winner came in the 19th min thanks to the goal from FC Barcelona youngster Sandro from a pass from Jose Rodriguez. Overall a worked match with a good Portuguese team that had their moments but could not convert. Spain will play the host team Lithuania next Tuesday were a win will put them clear sailing towards a semis berth.

THREE SPANISH U-19 FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN UEFA "BEST XI"

UEFA has handed in this afternoon their list of "The Ideal U-19 Europen Team" after the U-19 European Championships ended yesterday with SPAIN proclaiming its 5th title. In the "Best XI" there are three Spanish Football players: Alex Fernandez, Deulofeu & Morata. I personally miss another Spanish Football youngster who I thought deserved a mention in the name of Ruben Pardo, however the UEFA experts thought something else.
