FIXTURES:


FULL TIME! SCOTLAND 0-3 SWITZERLAND!


OneFootball Videos


A miserable night for Steve Clarke and co. at Hampden. 

Zeki Amdouni's late third compounded the misery that began in the 11th minute with Jack Hendry's red card. 


FULL TIME! SPAIN 4-1 CROATIA!

But the world champions remain top of the group after a thumping win in Seville. 

Nico Williams added a late fourth after a Lamine Yamal brace and Marc Pubill's first for La Roja. 


FULL TIME!

England do the job and seal a 2-0 win over the 10 men of Czechia in Prague. 


Kane continues to make his move towards the 100 mark in international football. 

A remarkable record for his country but he surely knows EURO 2028 - a home tournament - is his last chance of silverware. 


Nice play from substitute Morgan Gibbs-White leads to an effort from Eze. 

Another fine save from Kovář keeps the score at 2-0. 


The Czechs have put up a spirited effort here and continue to do so. 

The early red card rendered this a near non-event which is a shame for them and their fans, who have been loud all night long. 


Three changes from Tuchel with the points in the bag, and Kane is off with his job done. 

Jude Bellingham comes on in his place and takes the armband. 

Rio Ngumoha and Alex Scott are also on - it's a long-awaited debut for the Bournemouth man, who continues to go from strength to strength. 


GOAL! KANE STRIKES!

And the other main contender for the Ballon d'Or gets in on the nod, smashing home with his left foot after the ball comes his way inside the box. 

Game, set, match in Prague. 


GOAL! YAMAL GETS ANOTHER!

Make that 11 in 10 games for the season. 

He simply cannot stop scoring. 


England hit the woodwork for a second time as they force the issue. 

Another goal will seal the points in Prague. 


GOAL! SWISS MAKE IT 2-0!

And that's game over at Hampden. 

It's a lovely goal as Dan Ndoye slips the ball across for Nico Elvedi to sweep home from close range. 

Surely no way back for the 10 men on another dismal night for the Tartan Army and Steve Clarke. 


Anthony Gordon has been England's best player tonight and he tees up Lewis Hall for what should be the second goal. 

The left-back puts his shot just wide of the post. 


The Three Lions should really kick on now and win this comfortably. 

Tuchel will be looking for goals at one end and a clean sheet at the other. 


GOAL! ENGLAND LEAD!

It didn't take long into the second half!

Brilliant goal too - Czechia lose the ball and Trent Alexander-Arnold picks out Anthony Gordon with a stunning cross. 

The Barcelona winger scores with a brilliantly taken header on the bounce from close range. 


With Czechia down to 10 men, it makes sense for Tuchel to bring on the more attacking Eze.

He and Morgan Rogers will play in front of Ellito Anderson in a likely 4-1-4-1 formation. 


BACK UNDERWAY!

And the second half kicks off in Prague. 


England are making one change at the break with Eberechi Eze coming on for his Arsenal teammate Myles Lewis-Skelly. 


HALF TIME!

Goalless at the break as England fail to break down the 10 men. 


Kovář forces a brilliant save from Harry Kane, who has his first real sight of goal with a lovely turn and hit from the edge of the box. 

The Czechs are standing firm. 


Another blow for Czechia as Adam Karabec hobbles off with an injury. 

Two minutes of added time left for them. 


GOALS IN SEVILLE!

Croatia levelled through Dion Drena Beljo but their lead just before the half hour mark lasted just two minutes before Marc Pubill scored his first international goal. 


More good work from Gordon almost forces an own goal. England are coming closer as half-time nears. 


This game is England's to lose now and Anthony Gordon has their latest effort. 

Can they find the breakthrough before the break?


RED CARD FOR CZECHIA!

And it's their star man Pavel Šulc!

It's a truly awful challenge on Anderson that made the referee's decision extremely easy after a VAR check. 


GOAL AND RED CARD!

An absolute nightmare start for Scotland, who are down a goal and a man inside 12 minutes. 

Jack Hendry is shown a red for a last man challenge on Dan Ndoye.

There's no penalty but Ricardo Rodríguez doesn't care, bending in a peach of a free-kick. 


SO CLOSE!

Morgan Rogers is inches away from giving England the lead, smacking the post with a fine effort on the turn. 

Saka is then denied by a brilliant block on the follow up. 


England are unsurprisingly dominating possession in Prague but have yet to have a real sight of Matěj Kovář's goal. 

The one-time Manchester United academy man has had a quiet opening 15 minutes. 


GOAL! SPAIN LEAD!

In the other League A group game, the world champions lead Croatia early on through Lamine Yamal. 

It's a typically cool finish from the Ballon d'Or contender from the right-hand side of the box. 


Tuchel's side have remarkably let in 13 goals in their last six games. 

A clean sheet would be a welcome boost. 


Elliot Anderson then makes a big error and almost pays for it. 

He has Trevoh Chalobah's cover and a bad touch from Adam Karabec to thank. 


Bukayo Saka has England's first attack, going down the right before putting in an interesting cross that Czechia just about get away. 


KICK OFF!

And we're off. 


We'll be primarily covering the Czechia-England game with goal and big moment updates from our other two games. 


The players are out at the Fortuna Arena in Prague and the anthems are being sung. 

Minutes away from kick-off. 


25 minutes until kick-off in our three games. 

It's been another seismic day in the club game with the Premier League releasing the information on Manchester City's guilty verdict. 

How will the City players fare tonight? Marc Guéhi and Elliot Anderson are in the England lineup...


As mentioned, it's a big night for Trent Alexander-Arnold. 

He's making his first start for England since Thomas Tuchel's appointment and his first in close to two years. 

The 27-year-old has only started twice for Real Madrid in La Liga this season so far but can he make his mark on the international stage again tonight?


Reigning World and European champions Spain are also in action, looking to make it two wins from two when they face Croatia in Seville. 

Scotland and Switzerland also meet at Hampden Park. 

We will be across all three games and also have major updates from other games around Europe tonight. 


England will be looking to bounce back from Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Spain when they take on Czechia and here is how they line up....

It's a big night for several players, notably Trent Alexander-Arnold and Lewis Hall, neither of whom made Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad. 


Hello and welcome to our coverage of tonight's Nations League games.
