Lamine nets double as Spain win again and England beat 10-man Czechs
Lamine Yamal netted two goals as Spain secured a 4-1 victory over Croatia, extending their unbeaten run to 40 matches and maintaining their perfect start to Group A3 in the Nations League. The Spanish team, led by Rodri carrying the World Cup trophy, opened the scoring in the second minute with a low shot into the far post. Baena's cross was initially parried away by Croatia's Dominik Livakovic, but Marc Pubill equalized with a header in the 28th minute.
Lamine scored his second goal in the 63rd minute and Nico Williams secured the win with an 89th-minute effort. England overcame a 10-man Czech Republic 2-0 in Prague, with Anthony Gordon scoring the opening goal and Harry Kane converting a late penalty.
