Lamine Yamal stars as Spain thrash Croatia

Lamine Yamal scored twice and set up another goal as Spain defeated Croatia 4-1 in their Nations League encounter, extending their unbeaten run to 40 games.

Teenage sensation Lamine Yamal was the star of the show as Spain continued their remarkable unbeaten run with a convincing 4-1 victory over Croatia in the Nations League. The 19-year-old scored twice and provided an assist in a performance that has further boosted his credentials for the Ballon d'Or award.

Spain's victory was particularly significant as it marked their World Cup homecoming, their first match on home soil since lifting the trophy in June. Marc Pubill and Nico Williams also found the net as the Spanish team maintained their dominance on the international stage. In other Nations League matches, Slovenia defeated North Macedonia while the Faroe Islands held Moldova to a draw. cricket-info.homes
