The UEFA Under-21 Championship clash between Spain and Germany ended with a scoreless draw as result.
Although the first half went by without goals, spectators had no reason to be bored. Marc Torrejon hit the crossbar in the 32nd minute and Germany’s Marko Marin had an effort bounce off the post just before half time.
Mesut Özil could have put Germany in the lead in the 62nd minute, as the midfielder rounded keeper Sergio Asenjo but the Spaniard somehow managed to block the following shot with his foot.
Asenjo needed to make several more saves to secure a goalless draw, one Spain should certainly be happier with than Germany.
England lead Group B after day one, having beaten Finland 2-1 in the tournament’s opening game.
