Laporte, a defender, gave Spain the lead with a close-range header in the fifth minute. Morata, who missed a penalty in the 54th minute, made it 2-0 with a shot from just inside the box after 65 minutes.

In the 78th minute, Strahinja Pavlovic of Serbia got a straight red card for a last-man foul on Mikel Oyarzabal on the edge of the area. Baena then curled a beautiful free into the top corner to make it a comfortable win for Spain.

Morata, the captain, told TVE in Spain, “We are in the final stage of another major tournament, and that is something to be proud of.”

As much as it seems easy because we’re always at the end, it’s not. We need to recognize how unique it is and give it the value it deserves.

“We missed a few players who were hurt, but we have to focus on the good things, like how the young players are stepping up.” We have made something unique, and we need to keep going. Spain is going to have a great future.
