Spain rally to beat England 3-2 at Wembley

Published 27 September 2026

Spain beat England 3-2 at Wembley on September 26, overturning a halftime deficit to win their Nations League match after Harry Kane missed a penalty in the second half. England had led 2-1 at the break, but Spain scored twice after the interval to claim victory. Lamine Yamal put Spain ahead in the second minute, scoring after Marc Guehi lost possession, according to match reports. England responded through Anthony Gordon, who equalised in the 36th minute after a counterattack involving Jude Bellingham. Kane headed England in front four minutes later, converting a cross from Nico O’Reilly. Kane had a chance to extend the lead early in the second half when England were awarded a penalty after Rodri fouled Bellingham. His kick struck the crossbar. Spain drew level in the 60th minute through substitute Alex Baena, who scored from the edge of the area after an England defensive error. Baena then set up Mikel Oyarzabal, whose 74th-minute goal put Spain ahead for good. The result reversed the halftime score and left England without the win after a match in which both sides had periods of attacking pressure.
