In the fifth round of League A Group A3 of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League, Spain defeated ten-man Czech 2-0 away, securing their fifth consecutive group stage win and advancing to the quarterfinals.
Although key players like Yamal and Rodri were absent, and Luis de la Fuente made seven changes to the starting lineup, Spain still controlled the game from the start, with a 70% possession rate. In the first half, Baena scored from the spot, and in the second half, substitute Puivel scored with a low shot after winning the ball in the attacking third, sealing the 2-0 victory.
This was Spain's ninth historical encounter with Czech, with a record of 7 wins and 2 draws, remaining undefeated. In their first leg last month, they won 3-1 at home, and this match saw them keep another clean sheet against their opponents. Czech suffered their fifth consecutive group stage loss. In the final round, Spain will return to Madrid to contend for the top spot in the group with England.
