Maximum drama in the final round of the Nations League group stage.

England defeated Spain 3–2 away from home, ending the current world champions' unbeaten run.

England started the match very actively. In the opening few minutes, the Spaniards had to withstand several dangerous attacks.

Before the break, Harry Kane won a penalty, which he converted himself.

England did not let up after the interval – Ezri Konsa and Ben White turned the scoreline into a rout.

Spain found renewed energy in an unexpected situation. In the 65th minute, Elliot Anderson fouled Lamine Yamal and was shown a red card, while the talented forward made no mistake from the penalty spot.

Nico Williams narrowed the deficit further in the 75th minute.

However, Spain failed to equalise in the remaining time, meaning England finished top of the group and will have home advantage in the knockout stages.
