Spain’s Wembley comeback shows champions still hungry

España overturned a two‑goal deficit to beat Inglaterra 3‑2 at Wembley, securing three points in the UEFA Nations League. Luis de la Fuente’s side, fresh from lifting the Mundial trophy at the MetLife Stadium, displayed the resilience that had earned them a second star on their jersey.

Early drama and shifting momentum

The opening minutes saw England’s defender Marc Guehi hand the ball to Lamine Yamal, who did not miss, slipping past James Trafford to open the scoring. The early lead set a frantic tone for the match at the iconic Wembley Stadium, and the crowd reacted loudly.

England’s response arrived after more than half an hour when a misplaced Spanish pass was capitalised on by Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham, whose pass found Anthony Gordon. Gordon’s finish levelled the game, putting the home side ahead of Unai Simón. The goal gave England a brief surge of confidence before Spain regrouped.

Four minutes later, Thomas Tuchel’s high‑pressing tactics forced a turnover, allowing Gordon to win the ball again before Harry Kane headed the cross from a Marc Cucurella deflection into the net, restoring England’s lead at the 40‑minute mark. Kane’s strike forced Simón into a desperate save, but the ball stayed low.

The second half began with a Spanish lapse inside the penalty area at the 54th minute, prompting the referee to award a spot‑kick. Kane’s attempt from the spot went wide, handing the momentum back to España. The miss reignited Spanish belief and the team began to press higher.

A swift Spanish move involving Álex Baena and Dani Olmo produced a long‑range effort that forced James Trafford into a save, while Pedri and Baena continued to dominate midfield. A precise pass from Álex found Mikel Oyarzabal, whose cool finish completed a 2‑3 comeback. Pedri’s vision and Baena’s work‑rate were pivotal in the transition that led to Oyarzabal’s finish.

England pressed for another goal but the Selección de España’s defence, marshalled by Unai Simón, denied any further chances, securing a clean sheet. The victory underscored why the world champions are considered the best on the planet.
