Group A favourites Portugal and Spain will face off on Friday evening in a crunch encounter. Both teams won their respective fixture on Day 1. Spain held onto first-half goals from Jese and Osede to defeat Greece 2-1 in Haapsalu.
Meanwhile, Betinho maintained his promising form as Portugal dismantled hosts Estonia 3-0 at the Lillekula Stadium. Portugal lead Group A on goal difference and they will be looking to achieve what the country’s senior national team could not do at UEFA Euro 2012: to defeat the Spaniards.
Estonia and Greece will lock horns before the Portugal vs Spain match. By the time the Iberian battle kicks off, UEFA Euro U19 hosts Estonia could be out of the tournament. Estonia vs Greece will be live on ETV 1 and ETV2.
England avoided defeat in their opening game. Chalobah’s equalizer on the hour mark secured a 1-1 draw for the English against the Croatians in Tallinn. Like Portugal, France also clinched a 3-0 victory forcing Serbia to occupy the last spot in Group B at the end of the day.
France are eying qualification into the last four. Victory over Croatia would put Pogba and company through on six points with one game to go. In Friday’s other Group B match, England will be hoping to get all three points against a Serbian side fighting for survival.
