Baena and Pubill score as Spain beats Czechia 2-0
Spain scored from the penalty spot and in stoppage time to win in Prague.
Álex Baena converted a first-half penalty and Marc Pubill scored in stoppage time as Spain beat Czechia 2-0 in the Nations League on Thursday in Prague.
Czechia threatened an equalizer when Adam Hložek hit the crossbar. The hosts went down to 10 men in the 72nd minute when captain Ladislav Krejčí was sent off, and Pubill added Spain’s second before the final whistle.
Spain played without winger Lamine Yamal and completed a sweep of its two group matches against Czechia. Spain has won all five group matches and hosts England on Sunday with first place at stake.
