Spain secured a dominant 4-1 victory over Croatia in UEFA Nations League Group A3, extending their European record unbeaten run to 40 matches. Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal was the star, scoring two goals and assisting another. Yamal opened the scoring in the second minute, curling a shot past Dominik Livakovic. After Dion Beljo equalized for Croatia, Yamal provided a cross for Marc Pubill to head Spain back into the lead. Yamal then netted his second goal in the 63rd minute from a tight angle, following a pass from Pedri. Substitute Nico Williams sealed the win with an 89th-minute goal. This win maintained Spain's perfect start to the group, following their recent 3-2 win over England. Rodri paraded the World Cup trophy before the match in Seville.
