The Spanish national football team secured their spot in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games final after defeating Morocco 2-1 in an exciting match at the Vélodrome. Despite starting off behind, second-half goals from Fermín López and Juanlu Sánchez allowed Spain to turn the game around and ensure at least a silver medal.

The match began with Morocco taking the lead. In the 36th minute, Soufiane Rahimi converted a penalty caused by a foul from Pablo Barrios, putting his team ahead. Spain quickly responded with two dangerous shots from Baena, one of which hit the post, but they couldn't equalize before halftime.

In the second half, Spanish coach Santi Denia made key changes that revitalized the team. Adrián Bernabé, one of the substitutes, created the play that led to the equalizer in the 66th minute. Fermín López capitalized on a loose ball in the area and, with a left-footed shot, made it 1-1, scoring his fourth goal of the tournament.

The winning goal came in the 85th minute. Sergio Gómez controlled the ball on the right wing and assisted Fermín, who found Juanlu Sánchez. The player, who replaced Diego López in the squad, broke through the center and struck a cross-shot to beat goalkeeper Munir and seal Spain's passage to the final.

With this victory, Spain not only secured a place in the final to be held on August 9th in Paris but also guaranteed the silver medal. The team will aim to improve on their Tokyo 2020 result, where they won silver, and turn it into gold in this new opportunity.
