October 15, (THEWILL) – Spain secured their place at Euro 2024 on Sunday, with a 1-0 victory against Norway, also enabling Scotland to qualify from Group A.
Teenage midfielder Gavi scored the only goal of the game early in the second half to help Spain, winners of the 2008 and 2012 European Championships, book their spot at next summer’s tournament in Germany with two matches remaining.
Norway and star striker Erling Haaland can now only potentially reach the Euros through the play-offs. They need to hold on to third place and hope Serbia qualify from Group G to be eligible.
Spain barely allowed Haaland a chance all match in a frustrating night for Norway. They sit five points adrift of Spain and Scotland, who top the group jointly, with just one game left for Norway and Cyprus in Group A.
