Spain Beat Czechia 3-1 in Oviedo for Third Straight Nations League Win and a 41-Match Unbeaten Run
Spain defeated Czechia 3-1 at the Carlos Tartiere stadium in Oviedo on October 3 to make it three wins from three in Nations League Group A3 and extend their unbeaten run to 41 matches. A crowd of 28,515 watched the national team's first match at the ground in eleven years.
Lamine Yamal opened the scoring after just six minutes, cutting in from the right after a Dani Olmo pass and curling the ball into the far corner. Captain Rodri doubled the lead in the 35th minute as Spain dominated the first half.
Czechia improved after the break and Sláma pulled a goal back in the 69th minute. The visitors then had an equaliser disallowed for a foul, and Krejci was sent off in the 85th minute after a second yellow card. Substitute Mikel Merino sealed the win with Spain's third goal in the 89th minute.
With nine points from three matches, Luis de la Fuente's side are close to a place in the quarter-finals. Spain travel to face Croatia on October 6 in their next match.
