England rally from Yamal’s opener to lead Spain 2-1 at halftime

OneFootball

England turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 halftime lead against Spain in the UEFA Nations League. Lamine Yamal scored after Guéhi’s error at 1:47; England leveled in the 36th minute, and Kane put them ahead in the 40th after a deflection off Cucurella.

Spain could have extended their lead: Trafford saved Ferran Torres’ first chance after a pass from Yamal, and Torres sent a second one-on-one effort wide after Rodri set him up. Yamal also nearly made it 2-0 with a backheel pass to Olmo.

Spain had gone 38 matches unbeaten since a 1-0 loss to Colombia in March 2024. The report describes the run as the longest unbeaten streak in international football; with England leading at halftime, it was at risk of ending.
