5. La Roja outclass Czechia in every position
Spain backed up its claim by defeating Czechia in a UEFA Nations League encounter. La Roja, fresh off their World Cup victory, easily defeated the Czechs 3-1 at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium in Oviedo. Golden kid Lamine Yamal was unstoppable, scoring with a spectacular play barely six minutes into the game. Aymeric Laporte and Robin Le Normand shut down practically every Czech counter-attack, allowing Spain to put together 613 correct passes to only 202 for Czechia.
Although Jiří Sláma scored a consolation goal for Czechia in the 69th minute, the outcome was never in question.
4. La Roja are top of the group
Spain leads the UEFA Nations League group table. Following their initial 3-2 victory against England, the reigning European and World champions cruised to a 4-1 victory over Croatia, followed by a 3-1 triumph over Czechia, placing them securely in top place in League A, Group 3 with nine points from their first two games.
3. Czechia remain winless in the Nations League
Czechia are still winless and pointless at the bottom of the group in the 2026-27 UEFA Nations League after recording their third straight loss on Saturday. Under new manager Santi Denia, the team has failed to get off the ground in a very competitive group that includes Spain, England and Croatia. Czechia fell behind early against the world champions in Oviedo, thanks to goals from Lamine Yamal and Rodri. Despite Jiří Sláma’s comeback in the 69th minute, they were unable to produce an equaliser.
2. Spain maintain their winning run
Spain, the World Cup champions, have extended their extraordinary undefeated run to 41 matches and preserved their perfect start in the UEFA Nations League. They began their Nations League campaign with a dominant win over England and continued after beating Croatia. They once again remained top of their game with a narrow win over Czechia.
1. Lamine Yamal continues his scoring streak
Lamine Yamal built up his scoring streak to three games with a spectacular early sixth-minute strike against Czechia in the UEFA Nations League. Yamal has been in amazing form for Spain in the Nations League tournament’s first several matches, scoring early in each.
