Spain beat Czechia 3-1 at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium in Oviedo in a UEFA Nations League match on 2026-10-03, the reigning World Cup holders completing a comfortable victory. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring early and Jiří Sláma netted a consolation for Czechia in the second half.

Fresh from their 2026 World Cup triumph and described in the report as the reigning European and World champions, Spain claimed another Nations League win to extend their strong run of results. The side had previously defeated England 3-2 and Croatia 4-1 in the competition, and the report says they preserved a perfect start in the UEFA Nations League. Spain’s performance in Oviedo was presented alongside a noted 41-match undefeated run.

Lamine Yamal struck inside six minutes to set the tone for La Roja, and Rodri also scored as Spain built a lead they would not relinquish; Jiří Sláma pulled one back in the 69th minute but the score finished 3-1. The report describes Yamal’s goal as spectacular and says his scoring run reached three games with the early sixth-minute strike.

Defensive solidity was highlighted, with Aymeric Laporte and Robin Le Normand credited with nullifying Czech counter-attacks, allowing Spain to dominate possession and passing. Spain completed 613 accurate passes compared to only 202 for Czechia, figures included in the match account.

Czechia’s struggles under new manager Santi Denia were underlined in the report: the side recorded a third straight loss and remained winless and pointless at the bottom of their Nations League group. The account states Czechia were unable to find an equaliser after falling behind early in Oviedo.

The report reiterates Spain’s extended undefeated streak to 41 matches and notes Yamal’s continued scoring form in the Nations League series of games, describing his contribution as part of Spain’s dominant start to the campaign. Spain’s sequence of results in the competition was presented as further evidence of their strong run.

According to the supplied report, Spain sit top of League A, Group 3, with nine points from their first two games, while Czechia remain bottom and without points following their third successive defeat.
