Spain's head coach, Luis de la Fuente, expressed his delight in leading a team that has shown remarkable form recently. Spain secured a 1-0 victory over Denmark in the Nations League on Saturday, extending their unbeaten streak to 13 matches across all competitions. Their last defeat was in March against Colombia, who later reached the Copa America final this year.

In the match against Denmark, Spain attempted 25 shots, matching their highest number of attempts in a Nations League game since September 2020 against Ukraine. De la Fuente praised his players' quality and performance. "We're happy, first of all, with the win," he told UEFA's media channels. He acknowledged the game's difficulty but noted it aligned perfectly with their strategy.

De la Fuente highlighted the exceptional talent within his squad, stating that when given opportunities, these players demonstrate their full potential. "It's great for Spanish football," he said. The victory over Denmark was particularly significant as Spain managed to dominate a strong opponent, especially during the second half by controlling the game's pace.

The match saw Martin Zubimendi stepping up in midfield due to Rodri's injury. Zubimendi scored the decisive goal against Denmark, marking his first international goal and his first from outside the box at senior level. This achievement underscores his growing influence on the team.

De la Fuente concluded by expressing satisfaction with how his team executed their game plan and maintained control over a formidable Danish side. The coach's joy is evident as he continues to lead Spain through an impressive unbeaten run.
