Spain extend unbeaten run after thriller with two comebacks v 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Spain extend unbeaten run after thriller with two comebacks v 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England really did try in front of their home crowd at Wembley. But the current Euro and World Cup champions EXTENDED their unbeaten run. Spain, the record-holder, are now 39 matches unbeaten — 30 wins and nine draws. They have not been beaten since March 2024, when they lost to Colombia. There were TWO comebacks in the thriller that opened Group A3 in League A of the Uefa Nations League. The 3-2 had plenty of key moments, a blunder, decisive VAR intervention, and a missed penalty. 🔥 A CRAZY FIRST HALF Guéhi failed to notice Yamal, made a terrible mistake, and watched the No. 19 strike ruthlessly after 1 minute and 47 seconds. Spain did not let up with the pressure. The only thing they did not count on was Ferran Torres' poor finishing. He had two BIG chances to extend the lead after being picked out by Yamal and then Rodri. But he failed to deliver. Thomas Tuchel's England managed to "grow into the game" as the minutes passed. But they did not have a real chance to equalize. Then came the counterattack that started after Nico Williams slipped. And Gordon made it level at high speed (36'). The comeback came shortly after, when Kane got on the end of O'Reilly's cross and benefited from a deflection off Cucurella (40'). Kane, Baena on fire and ANOTHER comeback The "Barça x Real" clash between Rodri and Bellingham ended with VAR awarding a penalty. Kane stepped up, but slipped and smashed it against the bar — and the No. 9 also made two touches. Luis de La Fuente brought on Álex Baena and Oyarzabal — and they would make the difference. The Atleti midfielder had already set up Yamal nicely before making it 2-2 in the 60th minute. Spain's greater ability to control the ball and find spaces brought another positive consequence. Laporte found Baena, who set up Oyarzabal. And the Sociedad striker beat Trafford with real class (74'). England kept pushing in the final minutes. But Spain held firm. In the other match in the group, Croatia beat Czechia 2-1 away from home, with a goal from Modric. On Tuesday (29), Spain will face Modric & Co. England, meanwhile, will visit Czechia on the same day. Other results from the day: League B League C This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
