Spain overcomes deficit to beat England

Playing their first international fixture 10 weeks after their World Cup semifinal loss to Argentina, England sought redemption for their Euro 2024 final defeat against the world champions.

The visitors capitalized on an early defensive blunder by Marc Guéhi, allowing Lamine Yamal to open the scoring in the second minute. However, England responded swiftly with two goals in a four-minute span to take a 2-1 lead into halftime.

The turning point came early in the second half when England captain Harry Kane missed a penalty that would have doubled the hosts' lead.

Spain capitalized on the missed opportunity as substitute Álex Baena scored the equalizer, before Euro 2024 hero Mikel Oyarzabal struck the winning goal to seal the 3-2 comeback victory. Despite late pressing from the Three Lions to salvage a point, Spain held firm to secure all three points.
