The second goal came from a swift exchange of passes, culminating in a well-timed assist from Gerard Martin to Lewandowski, who calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper. By the time Gavi scored his second goal with a clever chip just before halftime, the match was effectively over. In the second half, manager Hansi Flick made significant changes to the lineup, yet the team's performance remained strong. Toni Fernández added to the scoreline, with a combination play involving Dani Olmo and Rashford leading to the goal.
