Spain's hopes of making a UEFA Euro three-peat are more than alive, as La Roja has dazzled fans all over the world with their awesome display against Turkey.
Del Bosque's men joined France and Italy in the knockout stage of the tournament, after hardly breaking a sweat to defeat a Turkish side that bowed out of the competition after just two games.
Spain scored a couple of goals during the first half of the game, with Nolito stealing the headlines after handing out an assist for Morata and scoring the second goal for La Roja. Things came to a close with another goal by Juventus' striker, and if there were any hope for the Turks, David De Gea showed his best form by keeping Spain's seventh straight clean sheet in the European tournament.
1 - Spain have conceded just one goal in their last 18 hours & 18 minutes of football at the European Championship finals. Control.

Great header from Morata after an even better cross from Nolito. The two tournament debutants combining for Spain.
