KEY POINTS

  • Spain won 3-2 at Wembley in Nations League Group A3 opener
  • Yamal scored in 2nd minute after Guehi error; fastest Wembley goal vs England in 70 years
  • England led 2-1 at halftime via Gordon and Kane (deflected header)
  • Kane missed penalty in 54th minute after slipping on turf
  • Baena and substitute Oyarzabal scored second-half goals for Spain

Spain defeated England 3-2 at Wembley in their UEFA Nations League Group A3 opener on Saturday. Lamine Yamal gave the visitors a second-minute lead after Marc Guehi lost possession near the penalty area.

England turned the match around before halftime. Anthony Gordon equalised in the 36th minute following a counter-attack with Jude Bellingham, and Harry Kane put the hosts ahead four minutes later when his header deflected off Marc Cucurella.

“No, the Anthony Gordon goal was a counter-attack. The ball went in... a counter-attack.”

— Thomas Tuchel

Kane had a chance to extend the lead to 3-1 from the penalty spot early in the second half but slipped and double-touched the ball, resulting in a free-kick for Spain. Alex Baena levelled in the 60th minute and Mikel Oyarzabal scored the winner in the 74th minute after coming on as a substitute.

Ferran Torres missed several clear chances for Spain in the first half, including two one-on-one opportunities saved by James Trafford. England manager Thomas Tuchel said his side created enough high turnovers to win but lacked clinical finishing in the final 20 metres.
