Spain make it two from two with a 4-1 win over Croatia in Seville
Spain beat Croatia 4-1 in Seville to make it two wins from two, four days after a 3-2 at Wembley. Seven goals in two matches, and two very different nights.
Spain made it two wins from two with a 4-1 win over Croatia at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, four days after taking three points off England at Wembley.
Wembley had been tight — a 3-2 that stayed open until the final minutes. This was not that. Croatia were beaten by three, and Spain have now scored seven goals in two matches that could hardly have been less alike.
Spain sit unbeaten at the top of their group. On current form they are the team most likely to reach the finals next June, though November's two matchdays will have something to say about that.
