Lamine Yamal got Spain off to a flying start on Saturday evening in England, opening the scoring in the 2nd minute during the first matchday of the Nations League.

Starting for La Roja, the FC Barcelona prospect took advantage of immediate pressing to steal the ball from English defender Marc Guéhi. Alone in front of goal, he then finished past goalkeeper James Trafford with a precise left-footed strike, giving England no time to settle into the match.

This early goal illustrates Yamal’s ability to make an impact from the start of a match, a quality he has already demonstrated at the recent Euros with Spanish champions.
