Spain continued their impressive run in the Nations League with a third consecutive victory, beating Czechia 3-1 in Oviedo. La Roja made a flying start, with Lamine Yamal opening the scoring after just five minutes.

Rodri doubled Spain’s advantage in the 35th minute, finding the top corner with a powerful strike and putting Spain firmly in control before half-time.

After the break, Mikel Merino added a third to put the result beyond doubt. Czechia managed to respond late on through Slama, but the goal was little more than consolation as Spain saw out another convincing win.
