Nations League: Yamal Helps Spain Extend Unbeaten Streak, Gordon and Kane Lead England
On Tuesday, World Cup winner Spain defeated Croatia 4-1 at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in Sevilla, extending their record unbeaten streak to 40 matches with Lamine Yamal scoring twice and adding an assist.
Yamal opened the scoring within 90 seconds, igniting the home crowd before Croatia equalized through Dion Beljo's header; Spain quickly responded in the 31st minute when Marc Pubill headed home a cross from Yamal.
In the second half, Yamal beat goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic from a tight angle in the 63rd minute to extend Spain's lead. Substitute Nico Williams sealed the 4-1 victory with an 89th-minute goal.
With this result, Spain leads Group A3 with six points, three clear of England and Croatia. England rebounded from their opening loss by defeating 10-man Czechia 2-0 in Prague, with Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane scoring second-half goals.
The world champions remain the only major trophy holders yet to win the UEFA Nations League title, though they will host Czechia this Saturday seeking to maintain momentum from their 40-game unbeaten run.
