DUESSELDORF, Germany—Spain changed almost its entire lineup and still kept up its victorious start to the European Championship with a 1–0 win over Albania, which was eliminated on Monday.

With his team already assured of winning Group B, coach Luis de la Fuente changed 10 of his starters and Spain won all three group games at the Euros for the first time since 2008, when it went on to win the tournament.
