Nations League, Lamine Yamal opens scoring and Harry Kane replies

Mikel Oyarzabal gave La Roja the decisive advantage in the 74ᵉ minute, sealing the 3‑2 win over England at Wembley and giving Spain the top of group 3 of the Nations League, in a match rich in twists.

Yamal opens the scoring

Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the 2ᵉ minute, after pushing Marc Guéhi and adjusting James Trafford with a left‑foot strike. This prodigy of FC Barcelona thus gave La Roja an early lead that set the tone for the first quarter‑hour.

England reacts

Anthony Gordon equalised in the 36ᵉ minute, closely followed by Harry Kane who headed in the 40ᵉ minute, restoring the advantage to the Three Lions. Kane then missed a penalty in the 54ᵉ minute, the ball hitting the crossbar of Unai Simón.

Luis de la Fuente’s men relaxed towards the end of the first half, allowing England to quickly get back level.
