🎥 Routine stuff! Yamal bags another, Spain don't run riot but stay 100%
It was not a dominant performance.
But Spain kept up its sweet post-World Cup routine.
And reached the mark of 41 games without tasting a negative result.
Maintaining its 100% record in Uefa Nations League League A came with a 3-1 win over the Czech Republic this Saturday (3), in Oviedo.

With yet ANOTHER goal from Lamine Yamal.

🇪🇸 Spain 3 x 1 Czech Republic 🇨🇿
Lamine Yamal got on the scoresheet in under two minutes against England and Croatia - something unprecedented in the history of the Spanish national team.
He almost celebrated after 57 seconds against the Czech Republic, but his goal came "only" after six minutes.
Luis de La Fuente experimented, including handing out a debut. That was the case for Roberto Fernández.
Spain controlled the action - as expected.
It managed its energy and stepped it up when it felt it was best.

The expected second goal came in the 35th minute, through Rodri.
Spain made more changes after halftime.
And the Czech Republic started to believe more against an opponent that no longer had the same "edge."
And it pulled one back through Slama with a low finish in the 69th minute.
The equalizer even came after a mistake by Raya. But the referee had already called a foul on Le Normand.
The scare was followed by a goal from him, Merino, always present in the opposition box.
He pounced on Kinsky's rebound to celebrate in the 89th minute after Muñoz's attempt.
Spain's Santiago Denia saw the team he coaches lose for the third time.

It will be back in action on Tuesday (6), when it visits Croatia, which has three.
