Spain came from behind to keep their UEFA European Under-17 Championship hopes on track with victory against Kazakhstan.
Comeback
Ravil Satvaldiyev gave Kazakhstan a fifth-minute lead as they attempted to bounce back from losing their opening Elite round Group 2 game 3-0 to the Czech Republic in Benidorm. But Borja González equalised midway through the first half and secured victory with 12 minutes left. Spain now trail the Czech Republic on goal difference and must beat the group leaders on Tuesday to ensure they go for a third straight U17 title in Germany in May.
