England 2-3 Spain: Thrilling Match at Wembley; Croatia and Switzerland Victorious

The Nations League Group 3, League A opener between England and Spain at Wembley concluded with a thrilling 2-3 scoreline. England faced an early setback when Guehi's miscue gifted Lamine Yamal possession, who skillfully beat Trafford to put the reigning European and World champions ahead. Spain controlled the game, nearly doubling their lead twice, but Ferran Torres missed clear chances. England found their footing after Nico Williams slipped, leading to a counter-attack finished by Gordon for the equalizer in the 36th minute. Just four minutes later, England took the lead through a Kane header deflected into his own net by Cucurella. In the second half, England had an opportunity to extend their lead when Bellingham earned a penalty. Kane, however, slipped during his run-up and hit the crossbar. This proved a turning point as Spain equalized through Alex Baena at the hour mark, and Oyarzabal scored the winner fifteen minutes later. The match ended with end-to-end action, but Spain ultimately celebrated the victory.
