Oyarzabal: Twice facing England, twice scoring game-winning goals

  /  autty

Spain will host England at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid for Matchday 6 of Group A3 in League A of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. In his career so far, Oyarzabal has faced the Three Lions twice, scoring the winning goal in each match.

In the Euro 2024 final, the teams were tied 1-1. In the 86th minute, Cucurella delivered a low cross from the left, and substitute Oyarzabal slid in to score, helping Spain clinch a 2-1 victory over England and lift the European Championship trophy for the fourth time in their history.

In the first leg of this year's Nations League in September, it was Oyarzabal again who, in the 74th minute, received a through ball from Álex Baena and chipped it over the keeper to make it 3-2, securing a win for his team at Wembley.

With two winning goals in two matches against England, the Real Sociedad forward has truly become a "tormentor of the Three Lions."
