Spain vs. Germany live score, updates: Euro 2024 result as Dani Olmo gives La Roja quarterfinal lead
Spain and Germany remained deadlocked at 0-0 in their Euro 2024 quarterfinal in Stuttgart.
La Roja have been the most impressive team at the tournament so far and hosts Germany seemed determined not to let them settle. A robust challenge from Toni Kroos on Pedri forced Luis de la Fuente into an early change, with Dani Olmo entering the fray.
The best chance of the first half fell to Kai Havertz, who got the better of Robin Le Normand on the end of Antonio Rudiger’s long ball but could not find a way past Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon.
Nacho replaced the booked le Normand at the start of the second half, while Julian Nagelsmann also shuffled his pack with Robert Andrich and Florian Wirtz replacing Emre Can and Leroy Sane.

Spain vs. Germany live updates, highlights from Euro 2024
83 mins: Oohhhh, close for Havertz but should he have squared to Wirtz. Simon having one of those lively two-minute spells he can thrown up. It’s an awful clearance, the Spain goalkeeper is out of his ground and Havertz clears the crossbar with his chip.
82 mins: Simon the latest player into the book for timewasting.
80 mins: De la Fuente brings on Oyarzabal and Merino for Morata and Williams. Preserving 1-0 in the name of the game for Spain as Muller comes on for centre-back Tah. Buckle up!
77 mins: Fullkrug hits the post! Kimmich finds Wirtz underlapping down the inside of Cucurella. The cutback is slightly behind Fullkrug, who is grappling with Nacho but slides to turn a low effort against the outside of the right post.
74 mins: Torres overhits the free-kick, Laporte volleys it back into the danger zone from the back post. Germany get away and Torres pulls down Musiala, rugby-style. Yep, that’s another yellow card.
73 mins: Torres gets on his bike down the right. Mittelstadt crudely fouls him. Another player who will miss the semi if Germany recover.
72 mins: Now Fullkrug heads wide. No more than half a chance.
71 mins: Fullkrug making a nuisance of himself in the Spain box again and Carvajal has to make a sprawling block to deny Havertz. Fulltime suddenly looking a long way away for Spain.
70 mins: Brilliant save from Simon! Fullkrug with some excellent centre-forward play after Havertz’s knockdown. He sets it back to Andrich, whose drive towards the bottom corner is kept out by Simon low to his left.
68 mins: Germany deal with the set-piece and look to break, only for Musiala to boot the ball upfield and through to Simon.
67 mins: Kroos, who could be under half an hour away from the end of his fabulous career, is forced to take a yellow for the team as he pulls down Olmo.
62 mins: Ferran Torres preparing to come on as Cucurella concedes another Germany corner. Lamine Yamal the player to make way.
60 mins: Andrich slots a pass to Wirtz, who takes aim from outside the area. The shot is deflected behind. Decent spell for Germany.
57 mins: Double change from Nagelsmann, straight swap at left-back as Mittelstadt replaces Raum. Gundogan makes way for Fullkrug, which will mean Havertz dropping back into the No. 10 position and the hulking Borussia Dortmund forward leading the line.
56 mins: Andrich clouts into Williams and is booked, making him the latest player to be banned from a hypothetical semifinal.
55 mins: Rodri snaps in to make an excellent challenge on Musiala on the edge of the box. Spain dart up the other end, Williams and Lamine Yamal combining but Germany scramble back.
54 mins: Germany look to hit back straight away, Raum keen to atone for his role in the goal. His cross is smuggled away with Musiala in close proximity.
52 mins: GOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Dani Olmo!!!!
Breakthrough for Spain! Morata slots a pass to Lamine Yamine in the channel. Germany give the teenage winger too much room and he squares for Olmo, who has timed his run to perfection and slots a low shot beyond Neuer,
DANI OLMO PUTS SPAIN ON TOP 🇪🇸

47 mins: Brilliant centre-forward play from Morata, who gets in front of Rudiger to take down Yamal’s chipped pass, spins and fires over the bar.
46 mins: Wirtz introduces himself to Laporte by pressing the Spain centre-back and catching him on the ankle. It was a foul but that was lackadaisical from Laporte and he was lucky to be caught.
2nd Half: Kickoff
We’re back underway. Nacho replaces Le Normand in the Spain defence, while there’s a double change for Germany as Can and Sane make way for Andrich and Wirtz.
Halftime
Goalless at the break. This has been a high-tempo, engrossing contest although it’s also safe to say it hasn’t lived up to expectations. Germany won’t mind that. There’s a clear plan to rough house Sapin’s dazzling creatives and prevent their midfield from establishing a rhythm.. Those have proved to be effective ploys so far in a game of few clear chances.
45 mins: Lamine Yamal thuds in an effort from distance and Neuer saves. There will be two minutes of added time.
39 mins: It’s quite frantic, with both teams giving the ball away more than you’d expect. Havertz is the latest culprit and Olmo strides forward to unleash a low drive. Neuer beats it away and Morata can’t readjust to get to the rebound.
36 mins: Williams scampers in to force a save from Neuer at his near post but the flag goes up. The Athletic Bilbao winger went too early when Ruiz slid the through ball in his direction.
35 mins: Chance for Havertz! :Le Normand completely misreads Rudiger’s long ball. Havertz takes it beautifully on his chest but doesn’t get clean contact on his shout. Simon makes a tumbling save.
30 mins: Le Normand the next man into the book, meaning he will miss the semis if Spain go through. Fiesty affair this.
28 mins: Raum goes into the book for a foul on Carvajal. Williams’ free-kick is half cleared, Olmo gets some of the ball and a chunk of Gundogan as he tries to shoot and that’s a foul.
27 mins: Spain looking increasingly uncomfortable under Germany’s set piece pressure but back they come, with Williams skipping away from Sane and chipping a fine ball into the middle of the area. Alas, there’s no one there.
25 mins: Kroos delivers, Tah can’t get much purchase on his header.
24 mins: Morata chases back after Kimmich and bundles him over. A classic example of defenders dreading a striker coming back to help out with the defending because Germany now have a free-kick in a handy position on the right.
21 mins: Now Germany gets something going as Gundogan spreads the play to Kimmich. It’s a lovely cross from the Bayern Munich man, perhaps a little floaty, and Havertz’s header is held by Simon.
17 mins: Spain tidy up after another Raum raid down the left. Olmo carries them forward. A worrying amount of room opens up from a German perspective before Ruiz clatters over outside the box.
15 mins: Ooohhh, Williams whips it around the near side of the wall and just wide.
14 mins: Germany certainly looking to impose their physicality on Spain but that’s daft from Rudiger, who clumps into Olmo. He’s booked, will miss the semis if Die Mannschaft get through and this is in a dangerous position.
11 mins: Havertz puts Raum into space down the left but his cross is a poor one and Simon grasps it to his midrif.
7 mins: Pedri is down again and doesn’t look in great shape. De le Fuente is fuming. It looks like an early change. Dani Olmo is coming on.
4 mins: Little bit of Real Madrid on Barcelona here as Kroos clatters into Perdri. Foul and no more. Spain want a booking and De La Fuente is furious on the touchline.
2 mins: Clumsy coming together between Can and Cucurella and the Spain man needs a bit of attention before he can continue.
Kickoff: 1st Half
We’re underway and Spain straight into their work. Williams comes in off the left flank and the ball is set back to Pedri, whose fizzing drive from the edge of the box is saved by Neuer,
5 mins before kickoff: The teams emerge into Stuttgart’s sweltering early evening. It’s time for the anthems.
20 mins before kickoff: Germany’s defenders and full-backs Kimmich and Raum in particular face a daunting task against Lamine Yamal and Williams tonight. One statistic that underlines their importance is Spain averaging 26.3 take-ons per game (via Opta), more than any other team at Euro 2024.

40 mins before kickoff: Emre Can wasn’t even in the initial Germany squad for Euro 2024, with the experienced defensive midfielder called up after Aleksander Pavlovic’s late withdrawal. The Borussia Dortmund man has clearly impressed in camp. He came on to complete the scoring as Germany beat Scotland 5-1 in their opening match, the first of three substitute appearances in the competition. Now Can has the not-inconsiderable task of trying to disturb Spain’s imperious engine room.
1 hour before kickoff: Here the Spain team. No surprises, it’s the side we’ve come to recognise as the best XI in the competition. Pedri holds off Dani Olmo’s strong claims for a starting place.

1 hr 10 mins before kickoff: Here’s the Germany team. Jonathan Tah comes back in after being suspended for the last-16 match against Denmark. Nico Schlotterbeck drops to the bench despite impressing in his absence. Leroy Sane retains his place in the front three ahead of Florian Wirtz, while Emre Can is a surprise inclusion ahead of Robert Andrich at the base of the midfield.

1 hr 20 mins before kickoff: Germany played Spain in the group stages of the Qatar World Cup but this is their for European Championship meeting since the final of Euro 2008. A Fernando Torres goal proved to be the difference between the sides and began Spain’s run of three consecutive major tournament successes. The 2010 World Cup was their finest hour and they hammered Italy in the Euro 2012 final. Perhaps this will be the start of a dynasty for one of these sides today.
1 hr 40 mins before kickoff: Right then, this really is the good stuff. By any reasonable measure, these two have been the best teams in the tournament. Some of the shine has come off Germany after scraping a draw with Switzerland and battling past Denmark, but they remain supremely talented host nation with a genuinely elite coach in Julian Nagelsmann. Spain have simply dazzled with four wins out of four, their livewire wingers Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams the stars of the tournament so far.
2 hours before kickoff: Hello, and welcome to The Sporting News’ live coverage of Spain vs. Germany! We’ve reached the quarterfinal stages of the tournament and by the end of tonight we’ll have our first semifinal set. The winner of today’s game will play either Portugal or France.
