Lamine Yamal punishes Marc Guehi mistake to score the third-quickest goal against England at Wembley
Spain secured an early lead against England at Wembley Stadium after Lamine Yamal scored following a defensive error by Marc Guehi. Despite Spain's dominance and multiple chances, England remained in the match due to missed opportunities by Ferran Torres.
Why it matters
This match highlights high-level international football performance and the impact of individual defensive errors in competitive play.
Spain have taken early control against England at Wembley Stadium thanks to a rapid opening goal from Lamine Yamal. However, Spain could easily be further ahead if not for a chaotic display of finishing from Ferran Torres. Torres had a goal ruled out for offside and inexplicably missed two clear one-on-one chances during a frantic opening 30 minutes in London.
Spain have made a dream start to their clash with England at Wembley. After just two minutes, Yamal capitalised on a severe defensive error by Marc Guehi, who dithered in possession 25 yards from goal. Yamal stole the ball, charged into the penalty area, and curled a brilliant shot past James Trafford that hit the inside of the post and went in.
