There was joy for Daniel Pacheco and Chris Mavinga after the pair helped Spain and France get off to a winning start in the UEFA U19 European Championships in France.
Pacheco played for 89 minutes as Spain came from behind to beat Croatia 2-1 in their opening game thanks to goals from Thiago Alcántara and Rodri.
Meanwhile, Mavinga played the full 90 minutes as France produced a brilliant display to thrash Holland 4-1.
Cedric Bakambu scored twice and Gael Kakuta and an own goal from Bruno Martins completed the rout.
Both sides are in action again on Wednesday with Spain taking on Portugal at 3pm and France facing Austria at 6pm.
The tournament runs until July 30, and there are two groups of four teams. The group winners and runners-up will progress to the semi-final.
