Under 19 European championship qualifier

Spain are on track for a place in the European finals after beating Portugal 2-0 in their second qualifying group game. Both goals were scored by Atlético Madrid striker David Rodríguez, the first shortly before the break after Markel set him up, and the second on the hour mark after good work by David Silva. With France only beating Israel 1-0 in the other group match, Ginés Meléndez's side have a better goal difference over their rivals and only need to draw their last game against them to reach the final stage, which takes place in Northern Ireland this summer.
