Spain set out their stall in style as they hunt a first European crown, scoring four times before the break on their way to a resounding 5-0 triumph against Portugal in their opening game.

Spain have already beaten Belgium twice this year in the UEFA Women's Nations League, overturning a 2-0 deficit in the last 13 minutes to win 3-2 at home in Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir's first match as Red Flames coach, then picking up a 5-1 away triumph.

Spain will be through to the quarter-finals if they beat Belgium and Portugal do not beat Italy.

Reporters' views

Andrea De Ferrater, Spain reporter
After a dominant 5-0 victory over Portugal, Spain head into their second match full of confidence. Montse Tomé’s side impressed with fluid possession play, guided by a commanding Alexia Putellas in midfield. Her leadership and vision were central to Spain’s control. Against Belgium, maintaining intensity and tactical discipline will be key, as the opponents may prove a tricky prospect if underestimated. Spain’s ambition and winning mentality remain their standout strengths.

Alyssa Saliou, Belgium reporter
Belgium matched Italy for much of their first game, creating several half-chances and enjoying spells of possession, but ultimately fell to a 1-0 defeat. Italy’s defensive discipline and opportunism proved decisive, leaving Belgium with a much tougher route to the quarter-finals, especially with Spain up next. With no points on the board, every moment now counts for the Red Flames. Their margin for error is gone, and only a result against Spain will keep their campaign alive; a task the team knows will be anything but easy.

What the coaches say

Montserrat Tomé, Spain coach: "A tournament like this, starting with a win always adds extra value. I think Spain always do many things right, but [the players] always believe that everything can be better. So, in terms of possession, trying to break down the opponents with a settled defence, finishing the game, and well, I know it’s not easy.

"I expect a Belgium team that defends and counterattacks quickly. We still don’t know exactly at what height, because in the last matches they’ve played quite high. The teams that have had more possession against them have been able to push them back, but what I expect is a match similar to what we've been seeing, with Belgium defending to fight for the title."

Elísabet Gunnarsdóttir, Belgium coach: "When I got the offer to become Belgium’s coach, I already knew we would face Spain three times. That is a challenge as a coach, but at the same time I love that, because it is extra motivation when you can measure yourself against such teams. You learn from it and you only grow from it.

"It’s not like we can surprise them anymore. They know our team very well. But we have studied them and found some weaknesses which we will try to exploit. So in that regards, I expect a different game."
