Spain opened the scoring at Wembley within two minutes when Lamine Yamal capitalised on a Marc Guehi error, slotting past James Trafford to give the hosts a swift 1‑0 advantage. England fought back, with Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane netting in quick succession before half‑time to level the match at 2‑2. In the second half, a missed penalty by Kane after Jude Bellingham was fouled in the box left England vulnerable. Substitute Alex Baena then equalised for England, but Mikel Oyarzabal finished the game with a beautifully dinked goal, securing a 3‑2 victory for Spain. The win extends Spain’s unbeaten run to 39 games, while England’s coach Thomas Tuchel faces the task of tightening defensive lapses and adopting a more aggressive approach against a quality side.
“We need to cut out individual errors and play more aggressively,” Tuchel said after the match.The result underscores the fine margins in international football and leaves England to regroup ahead of their next fixtures.
