Spain rally to beat Croatia, Kane shines for England in Nations League

Spain staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Croatia 2-1 in the Nations League, extending their unbeaten run to 42 matches and securing a spot in the quarter-finals. Mikel Merino scored twice, including a second goal just before the end of the match, as Spain maintained their perfect record dating back to March 2024. Croatia's Ivan Perisic had put his team ahead in the 17th minute, but England's Harry Kane joined the action in London to help his team claim a comfortable 3-0 victory over the Czech Republic.

Kane scored twice, including a brace that brought his England cap count to 125, equaling Peter Shilton's national appearance record. Croatia remains without a point, while England and Spain lead their respective groups with 12 and 9 points each, respectively. The final two rounds of the group stage are set to take place in the November international break, with the top two teams from each League A group advancing to the knockout rounds in March.
