Spain secured a 2-1 win over Croatia in Split, maintaining a perfect record in UEFA Nations League Group A3 and extending their unbeaten run to 42 games. Croatia took an early lead but were reduced to ten men after Ivan Perisic's second yellow card. Mikel Merino scored the late winner for Spain. Meanwhile, England defeated the Czech Republic 3-0, keeping pressure on Spain in the group. Croatia aimed to recover from a recent 7-0 loss to England, with coach Slaven Bilic calling for a stronger performance against Spain.
