Spain have been dominant in their UEFA Nations League clash with Denmark, although it had come without any success. However, with only 10 minutes plus stoppage time remaining in Murcia, they have now managed to break the deadlock.
The match is Spain’s first on home soil since winning Euro 2024 in the summer, so Luis de la Fuente’s side would have been very keen to mark the occasion with a victory. Time had been running out, but on 79 minutes, Martin Zubimendi has fired home from the edge of the box for his first senior international goal.
It’s a fine strike from Zubimendi, although Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel will feel that he really should have done better – Spain won’t care, as they finally have their deserved lead.
For Spain, they key will now be to hang on to their slender advantage. If they are able to, they will rise to the top of their four-team group.
