The Guardian Football reported that Spain beat England in their Nations League opener, with Mikel Oyarzabal scoring the decisive goal after Harry Kane had missed a second-half penalty. England had led 2-1 at half-time after Anthony Gordon and Kane turned the match around following Lamine Yamal’s early opener.
The report said Spain levelled through substitute Álex Baena before Oyarzabal finished the comeback, leaving Thomas Tuchel’s side to absorb a first major setback in the new campaign. It also described England as competitive but loose in defence against a Spain side that controlled long spells and responded strongly after the missed penalty.
