Red Roses’ unbeaten streak ends in a thriller as Canada claim win with late try - The Guardian
No, there is nothing wrong with whatever device you are reading this on. The 24-21 scoreline is correct. Yes, it finally happened. England have lost a rugby game after four years and 41 games unbeaten. The defeat came at the hands of a passionate, resilient and impressive Canadian outfit who had made it clear they were out for revenge for last year’s World Cup loss. Canada had already ended England’s winning streak with a 26-26 draw in Exeter last month but that was not vengeance enough. The scrum-half Olivia Apps said in the buildup to these matches that Canada had been doing everything they can in 2026 to make it possible to beat England and that is just what they did.

Lamine Yamal Scores Golazo And Spain's Unbeaten Streak Continues - FOX Sports
Lamine Yamal kept up his run of early goals in the Nations League when he put Spain ahead with a superb sixth-minute goal against Czechia on Saturday. Spain, winners of this summer's World Cup, have now gone 41 matches without a loss. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente shook his head in admiration and disbelief as Yamal cut inside down the right and unleashed a powerful curling shot with his left foot into the top left corner. Goalkeeper Antonín Kinský could not even get near the ball. This trademark Yamal strike followed the 19-year-old star's second-minute goals against Croatia in a 4-1 win on Tuesday and away to England in a 3-2 victory on Sept. 26. The Ballon d'Or contender has also been in outstanding form for defending La Liga champion Barcelona this season.
