Spain secures 10th straight win in Nations League with decisive victory over Czech Republic
Spain's 3-1 victory against the Czech Republic solidifies their top position in Nations League Group A3.

Spain continued their impressive form in the Nations League with a decisive 3-1 victory over the Czech Republic in Oviedo, marking their 10th consecutive win. This victory not only reinforces Spain's dominance in the tournament but also keeps them firmly at the top of Group A3 with nine points from three matches.
The match began with an explosive start as Lamine Yamal, the young Barcelona forward, scored just six minutes in, showcasing his skill by curling a shot from the edge of the penalty area past the Czech goalkeeper. Spain maintained their momentum, and in the 35th minute, Rodri doubled the lead with a powerful strike after a clever interplay with Dani Olmo.
Despite Spain's commanding performance, the Czech Republic managed to pull one back in the 69th minute when Jiri Slama found the net with a low shot, igniting hopes of a comeback. However, those hopes were dashed shortly after when Czech defender Ladislav Krejci received a second yellow card, reducing his team to ten men.
Spain capitalized on their numerical advantage, and Mikel Merino sealed the victory with a goal in the 89th minute, reacting quickly to a loose ball in the box. This late goal ensured that Spain walked away with a comfortable win, further solidifying their status as reigning world champions.
With this victory, Spain is now in a strong position to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Nations League. They will face Croatia away on Tuesday, and a win in that match will guarantee their progression. Following that, Spain will host the Czech Republic again on November 12 and take on England at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid on November 15.
Spain's current winning streak is remarkable, especially considering their last draw was a surprising 0-0 against Cape Verde during the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. The team, under the guidance of coach Luis de la Fuente, has shown resilience and skill, having previously won the Nations League in 2023 and reaching the finals in the 2021 and 2025 editions. With their eyes set on another title, Spain's performance continues to impress fans and analysts alike.
