Following his performance, Yamal received high praise from head coach Luis de la Fuente. The manager highlighted the 19-year-old's commitment to development and his significant contribution to the team's collective play. With this result, Spain sits at the top of Group A3 with six points from two matches, while Croatia remains on three points, trailing England on goal difference.
In Prague, England secured their first points of the campaign with a 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic. The visitors faced a ten-man Czech side for the majority of the match after Pavel Sulc was dismissed in the 23rd minute for a challenge on Elliot Anderson. Despite the numerical advantage, England had to wait until the second half to break the deadlock. Anthony Gordon opened the scoring with a header from a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross, marking his third goal in three international appearances.
Elsewhere in the Nations League, Switzerland claimed a 3-0 victory over Scotland at Hampden Park, a match heavily influenced by an early red card for the hosts. Meanwhile, Slovenia moved into second place in Group B1 following a 2-0 win against North Macedonia in Ljubljana. England now prepares to face Croatia in Rijeka on Saturday, while Spain is set to host the Czech Republic in Oviedo.
