The Soviet Union, Austria and Luxembourg received byes to the round of 16. The teams played home-and-away matches until the semi-finals; the final four teams would move on to the final tournament, whose host was selected after the teams became known. Luxembourg proved to be the giant-killers of the qualifying rounds; they beat the Netherlands 3–2 on aggregate (1–1 and 2–1), and then drew with Denmark 3–3 and 2–2, before losing the replay 1–0. Denmark thus became the most surprising of the qualifiers for the final tournament, joining the Soviet Union, Spain, and Hungary. In the semi-finals, the Soviet Union defeated the Danes 3–0 in Barcelona, and Spain beat Hungary 2–1 in extra time in Madrid, the winning goal being scored by Amancio. This set up a showdown between Spain and the Soviet Union in the final, only four years after Spain had been disqualified for refusing to travel to Moscow to play the Soviet Union. On this occasion – and with the championship of Europe on the line – General Franco let his team play the Soviets. In front of more than 79,000 people, including Franco himself, at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, the hosts won 2–1 after a late goal from Marcelino.Euro 1964: A forgotten Spanish triumph Mandeep Sanghera https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/17451950 BBC Sport British Broadcasting Corporation 12 May 2012 17 June 2012 Qualified teams 1964 European Nations' Cup qualifying Venues Spain center 300 Spain 40.453058 -3.688355 Madrid top Spain 41.380891 2.122818 Barcelona bottom Madrid Barcelona Santiago Bernabéu Camp Nou Capacity: 80,000 Capacity: 105,000 200px 200px Squads 1964 European Nations' Cup squads Match officials Country Referee Matches refereedBEL BelgiumArthur BlavierSemi-final: Spain 2–1 HungaryENG EnglandArthur HollandFinal: Spain 2–1 Soviet UnionITA ItalyConcetto Lo BelloSemi-final: Denmark 0–3 Soviet UnionSUI SwitzerlandDaniel MelletThird place play-off: Hungary 3–1 Denmark Final tournament 1964 European Nations' Cup final tournament thumb|300px|1964 European Nations' Cup finalists.
