Spain secured a victory in a brilliant match against England. The reigning world champions opened the scoring as early as the 2nd minute: "City" defender Marc Guéhi made a serious mistake, and Lamine Yamal took full advantage of it.
This became the fastest goal scored by the Spaniards in official matches since October 2005. Back then, Antonio López found the net against San Marino in the 53rd second of a World Cup 2006 qualifier. It was also recorded as the fastest goal scored by a visiting team at Wembley since 1957. Back then, Scotland's Tommy Ring opened the scoring in the 1st minute of the match against England.
Shortly after, Ferran Torres also scored, but he was found to be offside. Before the break, the English increased the pressure: first, Anthony Gordon equalized in the 36th minute, and four minutes later, Harry Kane put his team ahead.
At the beginning of the second half, England could have increased the margin. Jude Bellingham went down inside the penalty area after a collision with Rodri. Referee Davide Massa initially did not signal a foul, but then awarded a penalty after VAR intervention.
However, Kane slipped during the shot, and the ball hit the crossbar.
This became the turning point of the match. Having kept the intrigue alive, the Spaniards scored two more goals. Five minutes after Kane's unsuccessful shot, substitute Álex Baena equalized. Another substitute, Mikel Oyarzabal, scored the winning goal in the 74th minute — 3:2.
