The shot starts just outside the box, bends away and drops under the top corner at the far post. Sixth minute at the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere in Oviedo: Lamine Yamal has just put Spain ahead against Czechia. That was more or less all he was asked for. Taken off at half-time, he left the closing of Spain’s third match in eight days to the others, after the 3-2 in England and the 4-1 against Croatia.
The rest belonged to the team. Rodri made it two on 35 minutes, his fifth goal for Spain; Slama pulled one back in the 69th; Krejčí saw red in the 85th and Mikel Merino settled the 3-1 in the 89th. Czechia leave with no point from three games, Spain with nine, alone at the top of Group C.
Luis de la Fuente: “a player becoming a legend”
“He is already a reference at international level, and he is becoming a legendary player,” Luis de la Fuente said after the match, in comments reported by Foot Mercato. Yamal had already scored against England and then Croatia this month; Foot Mercato counts 12 goals in 11 matches for him, club and country combined.
