Under 19 European Championship

Spain 3 - Germany 0

A best possible start for Spain in the under 19 championship, their 3-0 win over Germany in their opening match in Switzerland confirming them as one of the tournament favourites. All three goals came in the second half, with Mallorca's Víctor heading the first from Silva's free kick soon after the restart. Manager Armando Ufarte brought on Valencia's Gavilán and Real Madrid's Soldado later on, and the two combined to score a goal apiece to wrap up the match. The youngsters play their next match against Turkey in Lausanne on Thursday. (13.07.04)
