Final hurrah as England faces Spain
A riveting contest is on the cards when England and Spain lock horns in the first-ever all- European summit clash of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup which will have a new champion on Saturday after a record-breaking tournament.
Kolkata
After three weeks of high intensity and top quality football, only England and Spain remain in contention for the top honour. And both sides will be seeking their maiden title when they come out in front of the full-capacity 66,000-odd crowd at the Salt Lake Stadium.Â
A goal feast can be expected from two of the most aggressive sides in the tournament. While England has scored 18 goals so far, Spain has 15 to its credit.
England is playing in its maiden final in its fourth appearance while Spain has featured as losing finalists on three earlier occasions in 1991, 2003 and 2007. It will be a repeat of the European U-17 Championship match in Croatia in May when Spain had emerged winners on a penalty shootout after a 2-2 stalemate in the regulation time and the Three Lions will be looking for revenge.
