    HT: Spain 2-1 Finland

    Manchester City midfielder on BBC Two

    We expected Finland to start very aggressively. I think Spain were a bit nervous, but I think in the second half everyone's going to see the Spain we're all expecting.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 17:47 British Summer Time 8 July 2022

    Spain 2-1 Finland

    No injury time at all as the half-time whistle goes. Spain came from behind and they lead Finland.

    What a terrific goal. Aitana Bonmati gets herself in a really good position and all she has to do is direct the ball - the cross already had the power on it.

    Another Spain goal would probably kill this off now. Mariona Caldentey drifts inside and shoots over the bar.

    Finland can't see it through to half-time.

    It's another headed goal for Spain as Mapi Leon crosses for the unmarked Aitana Bonmati, who directs her header into the top corner.

    Spain 1-1 Finland

    A few 'almost' moments for Spain around the Finland box. The Nordic side will be desperate to get to half-time level.

    When they do decide to commit bodies forward, Finland's starting positions for the press are excellent. They're just desperate not to let Spain out, so they're throwing bodies at them.

    A nice passing move round the edge of the box but Irene Guerrero's 20-yard strike is straight at the keeper.

    Finland have what it becoming a rare attack but the ball just won't drop for them in the box.

  12. Spain get the goal they deservepublished at 17:31 British Summer Time 8 July 2022

    Spain 1-1 Finland

    Michael Emons

    The equaliser had been coming and this has been a superb response from Spain after conceding that first-minute goal.

    It's fitting that the goal was made by Mariona Caldentey as she has looked the best player on the pitch. Her excellent delivery from a left-wing corner was superbly met by a bullet header from captain Irene Paredes and we're level.

    Moments before, Patri Guijarro thought she had scored an equaliser but it was ruled out as the ball had gone out of play before Esther Gonzalez could cross it. But this time the goal does count and we're back level - to the delight of a lot of the fans at Stadium MK.

    Spain left-back Leila Ouahabi wins the ball on the edge of the box but snatches at her shot and it goes wide.

    Lucy Ward

    It's definitely been coming. It was a terrific ball into the box but it's all about the attitude of Irene Paredes. There was nobody marking her, but what a header!

    Jamie: Finland are executing this game plan perfectly so far, well organised against a Spanish team that likes to keep the ball and play through the lines! And then counter attacking when they get the ball!

  19. 'Spain creating problems'published at 17:25 British Summer Time 8 July 2022

    Even the Spain players didn't really celebrate - they knew the ball had gone out - but they're creating problems with these crosses into the box.

  20. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 23 mins

    Spain 0-1 Finland

    Spain think the goal has come... but the flag saves Finland.

    Esther Gonzalez crosses and Patri Guijarro heads into an empty net...

    but the officials spotted the ball was well behind the byeline before Gonzalez kicked it.
