Portugal and Spain players observed a period of silence before their Women’s European Championship opening game.

Group B action at the UEFA Women's Euro continues on Thursday as Spain faces Portugal. Dubbed the 'Group of Death,' Group B also features Belgium and Italy, making every match crucial in the race to advance.

Spain striker Esther Gonzalez scored twice in the first half as her side powered to a 5-0 win over Portugal at the Women's Euros that was overshadowed by the deaths of Portugal international Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva in a car accident earlier on Thursday.
