The Czech Republic national football team suffered a defeat against world champions Spain in a Uefa Nations League fixture. Playing with 10 men, the Czech squad was unable to stop Spain from securing a comfortable victory in Prague.
Spain extended their winning run to 12 games as Alex Baena gave them the lead from a 39th-minute penalty following a handball against home midfielder Lukas Ambros. Crystal Palace's Yeremy Pino had an effort disallowed for offside, while the Czechs went close to an equaliser when Adam Hlozek's header hit the crossbar.
The hosts were reduced to 10 men in the 69th minute when captain Ladislav Krejci was sent off for a professional foul on Roberto Fernandez, following a VAR review that upgraded his initial yellow card. Spain ultimately added a second goal during stoppage time to seal the result.
