The match started fast when teenager Lamine Yamal scored for Spain in the second minute after taking advantage of a mistake by defender Marc Guehi. However, England quickly responded. Anthony Gordon scored an equalizer after a pass from Jude Bellingham, and captain Harry Kane later scored a header to put England ahead 2-1 before halftime.

taking advantage of= 利用（對手的失誤或機會）來獲取優勢

England had a major chance to increase their lead early in the second half when they were awarded a penalty kick—a free shot at goal given after a defensive foul in the penalty area. However, Kane slipped as he took the shot, and the ball hit the crossbar.
