UEFA European Under-19 Championship holders Spain came from behind to start their Elite round Group 7 campaign with victory against Ukraine − 3:1.
Nsue strikes twice
Aiming to reach the finals in the Czech Republic and secure a third U19 title in a row, Spain suffered an early setback in Yerevan when Andriy Yermolenko converted a 16th-minute penalty. But Emilio Nsue, a survivor from last season's victorious squad, quickly equalised after being set up by César Ortiz and another 2007 champion Aarón Ñíguez put Spain ahead on 64 minutes following some clever work by the busy Daniel Parejo. The impressive Nsue clinched the victory in added time from distance to set up a potentially decisive Saturday meeting with Spain, who earlier beat Ukraine's next opponents Armenia 2-1.
