Spain extends 39‑game streak at Wembley

In the flickering light of Wembley Stadium, fans on Saturday saw the Spanish national team under head coach Luis de la Fuente defeat England, extending their run of thirty‑nine games.

Exciting Start and Turning Point

Lamine Yamal capitalised on a mistake by Marc Guehi already in the second minute and opened the scoring for Spain. England equalised when Anthony Gordon scored in the 36th minute and Harry Kane restored parity just three minutes later.

After the break, Harry Kane saw a penalty hit the crossbar, a moment that turned the tide for the Spaniards. Alex Baena levelled the match in the 60th minute, and Mikel Oyarzabal scored the winning goal in the 74th minute, making the final score 3 : 2.

Further Details of the Match Progress

Thomas Tuchel, England's manager, placed James Trafford in goal, but after just under two minutes he already had to intervene. Ferran Torres had several chances in the first half, but missed the opportunity to double the lead.

In the second half both sides continued to press, but further chances went unexploited: Yamal missed in the 42nd minute, Fabian Ruiz in the 43rd minute, and a shot from Jarell Quansah went over the goal in the 49th minute.
