UEFA Nations League top plays: Spain-Czechia, Switzerland-Portugal

The third edition of the UEFA Nations League continues Sunday in cities all over Europe, with featured matches broadcast across the FOX Sports family of networks (and streamed on the FOX Sports app).

Kicking things off on FS2, Spain is taking on the Czech Republic. Elsewhere, Switzerland is battling Portugal.

Here are the top plays from Sunday’s slate.

Spain vs. Czech Republic (League A)

Terrific teamwork

Spain’s first scoring attack was a thing of beauty, as a clever lead pass keyed an initial push before Marcos Asensio set up Carlos Soler with an open opportunity to cash in. He did just that.
