Spain Defeats England 3-2 in UEFA Nations League Thriller

London:Spain emerged victorious over England with a 3-2 win in their opening UEFA Nations League A3 match at Wembley Stadium.

According to Anadolu Agency, Spain took an early lead just two minutes into the match when Lamine Yamal capitalized on a defensive error by Marc Guehi, sending the ball into the far corner. England responded in the 36th minute with Jude Bellingham orchestrating a counterattack that led to Antony Gordon's equalizer. England then took the lead three minutes later when Harry Kane's header deflected off Marc Cucurella into the net.

Spain increased their efforts to equalize before halftime but were unable to find the net despite attempts by Yamal and Ferran Torres. Shortly into the second half, England was awarded a penalty after Rodri fouled Bellingham, but Kane's shot hit the crossbar.

Spain leveled the score in the 60th minute with a goal from Alex Baena. The decisive goal came in the 74th minute when Mikel Oyarzabal, coming off the bench, lobbed the ball over England's goalkeeper James Trafford. Despite England's efforts to equalize in the final minutes, Spain's defense held strong to secure the win.
