Alvaro Morata scored twice as defending champion Spain cruised to a 3-0 victory over Turkey on Friday to qualify for the knockout stages of the European Championship. Spain recorded the largest winning margin of the tournament so far as its second victory left it top of Group D, while Turkey's second defeat leaves it on the verge of elimination. After failing to impress with missed chances in an opening 1-0 win over the Czech Republic, forwards Morata and Manuel ''Nolito'' Agudo scored goals three minutes apart in the first half to give Spain a 2-0 lead which Turkey could not respond to.
