Spain Extend Unbeaten Run to 15 Matches with Victory Over Denmark
Under the guidance of Luis de la Fuente, Spain’s national team extended their remarkable unbeaten streak to 15 matches (13 wins, 2 draws) with a 2-1 away victory over Denmark. The reigning European champions not only secured all three points but also clinched top spot in Group A4, guaranteeing themselves a seeded position in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals.
Key Moments of the Match
Spain took the lead in the 15th minute, with Mikel Oyarzabal finding the net after a pinpoint assist from Ayoze Pérez. The Leicester City forward was instrumental once again after the break, scoring his own goal to double Spain's advantage. This brings Pérez’s tally to four goal involvements (two goals and two assists) in his last four international appearances.
Denmark’s Gustav Isaksen managed to pull one back late on, but it wasn’t enough to deny Spain another impressive victory on their road to the Nations League knockout stages.
