Historic streak snapped! Spain lose for the first time since 2024, beaten by England in Madrid

Spain suffered their first defeat in 44 matches! In the sixth round of the UEFA Nations League, the reigning European and world champions went down 2-3 to England on home soil in Madrid. La Roja's impressive unbeaten run has come to an end.

England had raced into a commanding lead by the hour mark. Harry Kane, Ezri Konsa and Ben White all found the net to give their side a three-goal advantage. The tie looked all but over, but Spain managed to bring the tension back.

Lamine Yamal won a penalty and also got Anderson sent off. Mikel Oyarzabal calmly converted from the spot to cut the deficit. In the 75th minute, Yamal turned provider, setting up Nico Williams, who made it 2-3.
