· Yahoo Sports
There was a bit of everything in the GREAT first half of this much-anticipated England vs. Spain clash on Saturday (26) in the UEFA Nations League.
Lamine Yamal stole the show with a goal after an incredible blunder and some excellent passing.

World Cup hero Ferran Torres drew attention too — for the wrong reasons — because of the chances he wasted.
And England CAME BACK before halftime after their rivals failed to take theirs.
A LIVELY first half
After receiving the ball from his City teammate O'Reilly, Guéhi failed to notice Yamal nearby, made a terrible mistake, and watched No. 19 finish ruthlessly after 1 minute and 47 seconds.
Spain did not let up with the pressure.
They just didn’t count on Ferran Torres’ poor finishing.
The man who scored the World Cup-winning goal against Argentina left plenty to be desired.
The first chance came after a pass from Yamal. But Trafford made the save while Nico Williams was desperately calling to be played in.
The second — after Rodri made the difference — ended with a wayward finish after he once again found himself one-on-one with the Leeds goalkeeper.
Inspired, Yamal also produced a backheel pass for Olmo that nearly made it 2-0.
If you don’t take your chances...
Thomas Tuchel’s England gradually managed to get into the game.
But they didn’t have a real chance to equalize.
Then came the counterattack, sparked by Nico Williams slipping.
Anderson found Gordon, who laid it off to Bellingham.
He played it back to the Barcelona forward and watched his La Liga rival score at full speed (36').
The next move almost brought the turnaround through Kane.
That turnaround came shortly after when the Bayern striker got on the end of O'Reilly’s cross and benefited from a deflection off Cucurella (40').
Spain are on the verge of losing the longest unbeaten run in international football history.
They are now on 38 games without defeat since a 1-0 loss to Colombia in March 2024.
