Spain have booked their place in the knockout stages of the tournament, with an emphatic 3-nil victory over Turkey in Nice, thanks to a brace from Alvaro Morata and a goal by Nolito. 

The Spaniards took the lead in the 34th minute thanks to Alvaro Morata who headed Nolito's cross into the top corner to give Spain the lead at Stade de Nice.

3 minutes later Nolito turned from provider to Scorer by taking advantage of a poor Mehmet Topal header to finish from close range. 

With only 3 minutes into the 2nd period, Morata netted his 2nd of the night finishing-off an excellent move again from close range to hand Spain a 3-nil win over a disappointed Turkey-side.

While Spain have ensured their place in the knock-out stages, Turkey are out of the competition with 2 defeats in 2 matches.
