In Madrid, the England team in the guest match of the sixth round of the group stage of the League of Nations beat Spain with a score of 3: 2.

England goals were scored by Harry Kane from a penalty in the 45th minute, Ezri Consa in the 53rd and Ben White in the 57th. The Spaniards responded with an accurate hit by Mikel Oyarzabal from a penalty in the 65th minute and a goal by Nico Williams in the 75th. From the 63rd minute, the guests played in the minority following the removal of midfielder Elliot Anderson.

For Spain, this defeat interrupted a record-breaking series of 43 matches without defeat, which included games where the team did not lose in regular time. The last time in 90 minutes the Spaniards lost in March 2024 in a friendly meeting with Colombia (0: 1), and in June 2025 lost to Portugal in the final of the League of Nations on penalties. The record streak was set after winning the 2026 World Cup.
