Oyarzabal, who also scored the winner in the 2024 European Championship final, sealed the victory with a clever dink over goalkeeper James Trafford in the 74th minute.

However, a terrible penalty miss by Harry Kane in the second half proved costly.

The match marked a new chapter for both sides, with Spain looking to build on their World Cup triumph and England attempting to overcome their recent disappointment.",
