Spain Defeats Czech Republic 2-0 in Nations League Clash

Spain secured a 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic in Prague during the Nations League, maintaining an unbeaten streak of 44 competitive games. Alex Baena opened the scoring with a penalty in the 39th minute after a VAR review confirmed a handball by Czech midfielder Lukas Ambros.

Marc Pubill sealed the win with a goal in stoppage time. The Czech Republic's captain, Ladislav Krejci, was sent off in the 69th minute for a foul on Spain's Roberto Fernandez.

Spain, managed by Luis de la Fuente, was missing several key players due to injuries and illness, including Mikel Oyarzabal. Despite a slow start, Spain dominated the match, with notable attempts from Fabian Ruiz and Yeremy Pino.

The Czech team, led by Santi Denia, has lost all their Nations League games this season and faces a crucial match against Croatia to remain in the top tier of the competition.
