England Dominates Spain in Box Touches

Despite dominating Spain at Wembley with 36 touches in the penalty area, England couldn't translate their pressure into goals. This impressive statistic places England second only to Germany (45 touches in Euro 2024) in terms of box touches against Spain in regular time since tracking began at Euro 2016.

Spain's defensive record is remarkable, allowing just 9.5 touches per 90 minutes in their 2026 World Cup campaign. The combined efforts of Belgium, France and Argentina managed only 38 touches in Spain's box during the final three rounds of the tournament, highlighting the rarity of England's attacking success against the Spanish defense. sportbet.reviews
