Spain beat Czech Republic to retain perfect Nations League record

Prague witnessed Spain's flawless run in the Nations League, as they defeated ten-man Czech Republic 2-0 on Thursday. Alex Baena netted from the spot, followed by Marc Pubill's goal seconds from time. Spain extended their unbeaten streak to 44 competitive games, including the five wins they've secured in the current Nations League season.

The Czech Republic, who started the match poorly, managed to put up a fight but succumbed to the pressure after captain Ladislav Krejci's red card in the 69th minute. Marc Pubill sealed the win with a last-minute effort, while Pubill himself replaced the injured Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Rodri, and Eric Garcia. Spain's next opponent in the Group A3 is England, with the crucial match set to take place in Madrid on Sunday.
