Spain v Germany LIVE: Latest score and goal updates from heavyweight Euro 2024 quarter-final

45+2 mins: The whistle goes to end the first 45 minutes and neither side has managed to assert their authority on the game. There’s been a continuous tussle for possession and very few good chances to score.

Kai Havertz probably had the best opportunity but sent his header straight to Unai Simon. All to play for in the second half.

45 mins: Two minutes of added time to play in this first half. Nothing to separate the two teams.

42 mins: This match has either been a period of free flowing end-to-end football or slow build-up broken up by fouls and late tackles.

We’re in the latter period at present though Williams gets free on the left and sends a nothing cross over to the far side of the penalty area.

Dani Olmo tests out Manuel Neuer with a fine strike from range. The goalkeeper palms the ball into the path of Alvaro Morata but the Spanish captain can’t control the ball and turn it home before Germany’s defensive reinforcements arrive.

Marc Cucurella gives the ball to Dani Olmo who slips Nico Williams in behind Joshua Kimmich. Williams darts into the box, shifts away from a covering Antonio Rudiger and hits a shot towards the near post.

Manuel Neuer drops to his right and palms it wide before the offside flag goes up. Based on the replays though that was a close one and Neuer needed to make that save.

33 mins: Spain turn the ball over in the middle of the pitch and slip a pass up for Dani Olmo to chase down. Germany’s centre-backs are spread out but Tah manages to scurry across and poke the ball into the feet of Neuer.

Germany then sweep forward and send the ball over to Kimmich but the right-back is flagged offside.

30 mins: Leroy Sane tracks back to help put Joshua Kimmich as Nico Williams drives and dribbles towards the German defence. The Spanish winger flicks the ball into the penalty area but can’t pick out the arriving Lamine Yamal.

Germany look to pass out but David Raum comes under pressure and gives away a free kick on their left wing.

The set piece comes into the area and sees Toni Kroos win the defensive header. The ball drops to Dani Olmo who flicks it up for a volley but Ilkay Gundogan gets in between him and the ball and gets fouled as Olmo kicks the ankle of the German midfielder.

27 mins: Germany win a free kick over on the right wing which is swung into the middle by Toni Kroos. Jonathan Tah gets his head to the ball and nods it down but the second phase sees Spain guard it as the ball bobbles through to the goalkeeper.

24 mins: Well then. With Germany controlling possession, Spain look to advance further up the pitch when they turn over the ball. Aymeric Laporte brings it down the inside left channel and is left alone.

He has a sight of goal and decides to shoot, nailing a left-footed effort at Manuel Neuer who comfortably keeps it out.
