Spain 6-0 Croatia
The visitors went to the World Cup Final.
The hosts were bounced at the group stage amidst managerial turmoil.
So, of course, new Spain manager Luis Enrique saw his side bury the World Cup runners-up by a half-dozen goals in Elche.
Marco Asensio’s sensational first international goal (above) was joined by a Croatian own goal and four different Spanish goal scorers (Saul Niguez, Rodrigo, Sergio Ramos, Isco).
Iceland 0-3 Belgium
A Romelu Lukaku brace joined Eden Hazard’s 29th minute penalty kick in giving Belgium a win its UEFA Nations League debut and sending Iceland to a second-straight loss in the nascent competition.
