Spain Dazzle with 6-2 Victory Over Belgium to Edge Closer to Euro 2025 Knockouts
What a game! If you didn’t catch Spain’s sensational 6-2 triumph over Belgium in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, you truly missed a footballing masterclass. The reigning world champions reminded everyone why they’re considered the favorites for this tournament — not just with the scoreline, but with a dominant performance that left fans speechless and rivals trembling.
The match, held at Stockhorn Arena, started with Spain finding their rhythm a bit slower than in their opener against Portugal. But when they clicked, they clicked with flair. Alexia Putellas, the two-time Ballon d'Or winner, was at the heart of it all. She opened the scoring in the 22nd minute and later added a cheeky flick for her second goal in the 86th, finishing with two goals and two assists to her name. That’s right — involved in four out of six goals. Pure brilliance.

Belgium did try to hold their own. Vanhaevermaet and Eurlings managed to equalize twice — at 1-1 and then 2-2 — but every time they got back in it, Spain came back stronger. It was as if conceding a goal just poked the bear. Moments after each Belgian goal, Spain responded with swift, incisive football. Irene Paredes powered in a header before the break to restore Spain’s lead, and the second half saw an offensive explosion. Esther González, Mariona Caldentey, and Claudia Pina all found the back of the net, each goal showcasing Spain’s depth and attacking diversity.
What makes this win even more special is that it’s Spain’s first time ever winning back-to-back matches in a Women’s Euros. They’ve now scored 11 goals in just two games — a statistic that speaks volumes about their attacking power. And keep in mind, they’re doing this without Aitana BonmatÃ, who’s sidelined with illness. Yet the team looks sharper than ever.
The midfield, anchored by Putellas and supported by players like Vicky López and Claudia Pina, flowed beautifully. The team’s structure, balance, and unshakable confidence are unmatched in this tournament so far. As former Scotland captain Rachel Corsie said, it’s a daunting task for any team to face this Spanish side.
With Portugal and Italy drawing later that evening, Spain’s qualification for the knockout stage is already confirmed. Belgium, on the other hand, are now eliminated — a tough pill to swallow after showing sparks of promise but being outclassed by a team operating on a different level.
So, the big question now is: who can stop Spain? They’ve shown resilience, depth, and tactical brilliance. With players like Putellas in imperious form, it might take something truly extraordinary to dethrone the champions. For now, they march on — confident, composed, and completely captivating.
