Nations League: five-goal fiesta in Spain ends in English victory

On Monday, seven matches from the A-D divisions were played in the UEFA Nations League. The most attention was drawn to the clash in Seville, where Spain suffered their first home defeat in the last 15 years. Luis Enrique's team made mistakes in the first half and were forced to admit England's superiority with a 3-2 score. In the first half, the Spaniards made defensive errors, which England took advantage of by scoring three goals. Raheem Sterling put the visitors ahead in the 16th minute, Marcus Rashford extended the lead in the 30th minute, and Sterling scored his second goal a few minutes later. In the second half, Spain played much more aggressively and with higher quality, but failed to equalize. In the 58th minute, Paco Alcacer showed fantastic form and reduced the deficit with his first shot. The Spaniards dominated the rest of the time and had several great opportunities, but lacked luck in some episodes. Controversy arose regarding Jordan Pickford's actions in the penalty area - he lost the ball, Rodrigo was left alone against the goal, but the Englishman managed to save the ball. However, the incident was disputable - the goalkeeper clearly held the striker from behind. In the final moments of the match, Sergio Ramos managed to score a goal, but there was no time left to play - the English triumphed with a 3-2 result. In Spain, competing in Group 4 of Division A, this was their first failure in three games. Meanwhile, England achieved their first victory. In Division A, Switzerland also celebrated a victory, while in Division B, Bosnia defeated Northern Ireland. In Division C, Estonia and Hungary exchanged three goals, and Finland defeated Greece. In Division D, Belarus did not beat Moldova, and Luxembourg crushed San Marino.
