Spain v Czech Republic result: Spain beat the Czechs to go top of their Nations League group

Spain claim a deserved 2-0 win over the Czech Republic after a much-improved performance. Last Sunday they were lucky to get a point in Prague, tonight they were utterly dominant.

Not long to go now.

Spain's manager is gesturing passionately at his players to retain their shape and not do anything silly in the final minutes.

The numerous substitutions, the heat and the result no longer being in question have combined to reduce somewhat the quality of this match in the dying minutes.

The Leipzig star races onto a loose back pass but Mandous smothers the chance. The rebound falls to Sarabia who tries to curl it into the top corner. He misses, but not by much.

The home fans are enjoying Spain's dominance of the ball now.

Spain introduce Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, while the Czechs throw on Lukas Kalvach and Stanislav Tecl.

Magnificent goal from La Roja.

An end-to-end passing move in which virtually every Spanish player touches the ball, eventually finds Gavi near halfway who easily eliminates two defenders and plays it on Olmo.

Olmo's first-time pass finds Torres on the wing and the Barcelona man's cross finds Sarabia who can't miss from close range.

Spain break with speed from a Czech corner. Ferran Torres drives over halfway before playing it wide to Sarabia who tries to beat his man and goes down looking for a foul.

The referee says 'no'.

The Madrid winger applauds the crowd as he trots off the pitch following an excellent performance.

The Barcelona youngster has the crowd on their feet after a series of magnificent touches, feints and turns.

He weaves through half the Czech defence before eventually laying it off. What a cameo this has been already.

The Czech substitute fires off a fine shot but the diving Simon is equal to the challenge.

Video replay suggests the shot was probably going wide.

The Czechs get the ball into the box and Jurecka's back-heel finds Hlozek but the youngster is caught in two minds and scuffs his cross/shot.

Rodri loops his cross towards the left post and Gavi slides in and does connect but Mandous is able to deal with his shot, much to the disappointment of the crowd.

Dani Olmo receives possession wide on the left and drives into the box, before slipping the ball to Gavi who in turn fires it to Ferran Torres. Torres can't quite get his shot away.

Morata and Carlos Soler are withdrawn with Gavi and Ferran Torres coming on.

The ex-Chelsea striker is dancing across the top of the Czech box and eventually goes down. The crowd wants a foul but the referee flamboyantly gestures to play on.

The Valencia playmaker goes down under the lightest of pressure and the referee seems almost reluctant to give the foul, but he does.

The Czechs' long spell of possession ends with Pesek being caught offside after taking a corner. Can the Spanish calm things down now?

Spain are suddenly pegged back deep in their own half as the Czechs lay siege to their goal.

The hosts are having trouble dealing with the Czechs' crosses into the box and haven't yet punctured this spell of pressure.
