October 13, (THEWILL) – Spain earned a late victory against Denmark in the UEFA Nations League Group A4 match, with Martin Zubimendi scoring the decisive goal. The 1-0 win propelled Spain to the top of the group and extended their unbeaten streak to 13 matches.
Denmark started the match aggressively, creating early chances through Kasper Dolberg. However, Spain gradually asserted their dominance, with Lamine Yamal and Alvaro Morata threatening the Danish goal. Despite Spain’s possession, Denmark’s resolute defence kept the score level at half-time.
The second half saw Spain increase their pressure, with Fabián Ruiz and Morata coming close to breaking the deadlock. Denmark’s goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel, made several crucial saves to keep his team in the match.
The breakthrough came in the 79th minute when Zubimendi’s volley took a deflection off Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and found its way past Schmeichel. This goal proved to be the match-winner, giving Spain all three points and moving them to the top of the group.
This result marked Denmark’s second defeat in their last 11 matches, while Spain continued their impressive form. The victory also extended Spain’s winning streak against Denmark to five consecutive matches in head-to-head encounters.
