España asalta Wembley con remontada ante Inglaterra
La Roja estrena su segunda estrella en un comprometido partido ante un rival poderoso que estuvo 20 minutos por delante, y al que remontó con los goles de Baena y Oyarzabal, salidos del banquillo
Spain stormed Wembley with a resurgence against England, marking the nation's second star in a clash with a formidable rival. This England team had already secured third place at the 2024 Euro final, a competition where Spain had just finished in the same position. The atmosphere at Wembley, an arena steeped in history, had previously only seen England's own star stitched into its fabric.
The match lived up to expectations. Spain did not dominate control as it had in recent matches. The French coach, Tuchel, continues to see his team evolve, proving resilient and capable of striking at any moment. This resulted in Spain finding itself in an unusual position – trailing their English counterparts by one goal and facing a penalty, putting them at 3-1 down.
This was the first time in a year that Spain found themselves behind in the scoreboard, with a penalty to close the gap at 3-1. However, the tide turned when Kane missed his penalty and De la Fuente made two crucial substitutions. These changes shifted the momentum, Baena and Oyarzabal stepping up to score, avenging England's defeat in last year's Euro final. This marked a stark contrast to their usual downfall as they had gone 39 consecutive matches without defeat on the competitive stage.
