Spain is beating England this Saturday on the first day of the UEFA Nations League. Lamine Yamal was in charge of putting the Spanish team ahead after taking advantage of a mistake by Guéhi when the ball was released. The Barça winger stole the ball and was left alone against Trafford, who he beat with a shot placed against the post. Ferran Torres was able to extend the advantage with two one-on-ones against the English goalkeeper, but the first one hit the goalkeeper's leg and the second sent him out with a cross kick. England was barely creating danger, but in four minutes of disconnection from Spain, they managed to turn the game around. First, Gordon was the first to score in a very fast counterattack and then it was Kane with a header in the area that Cucurella tried to clear, but the ball ended up in the net.
The start of the second half was also for the English and they were able to put things in the way with a penalty that Rodri committed on Bellingham. However, Kane hit the crossbar with his shot; He also hit the ball twice after slipping. De la Fuente took advantage to shake up the bench and brought in Baena and Oyarzzabal for Ferran and Nico Williams. He was completely right. First, the Atlético midfielder tied the score again with a shot from the edge of the area. And then Oyarzabal received a filtered pass from Baena himself and the Real Sociedad striker raised the ball before leaving Trafford.
