Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky earned his first senior cap for the Czech Republic on Saturday, while defender Andy Robertson captained Scotland to their 100th appearance milestone on the same evening.
Kinsky started from the beginning as the Czech Republic fell 3-1 to world champions Spain in a UEFA Nations League fixture. Goals from Lamine Yamal and Rodri put Spain in control before Jiri Slama pulled one back, but Ladislav Krejci's red card left the visitors with ten men and Mikel Merino added a late third. Kinsky completed the full 90 minutes.
Robertson became only the second player to win 100 caps for Scotland, captaining the side to a 2-0 win over North Macedonia — their first victory under new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli. He nearly marked the milestone with a goal early on but was denied by a fine save from Stole Dimitrievski.
Kieron Bowie's goal and a John McGinn penalty secured the points for Scotland, despite the late dismissal of Scott McKenna. Robertson is now within two appearances of Sir Kenny Dalglish's all-time Scotland record of 102 caps.
Elsewhere among Tottenham's players on international duty, Mathys Tel came off the bench to score the winner for France Under-21s in a 3-2 home victory over Luxembourg, a result that sealed France's place at next summer's European Under-21 Championship finals.
On-loan Yang Min-Hyeok started and played 66 minutes as South Korea Under-23s beat Japan 1-0 to claim gold in the Asian Games final. Fellow loanee Mikey Moore helped England Under-20s to a 2-1 win over Germany, setting up the opening goal before being substituted in stoppage time.
Oscar Sandiford played the full 90 minutes for England Under-18s in a 2-0 defeat to Spain in the UEFA Friendship Cup final in Switzerland, while Oliver Salter's Wales Under-18s lost 3-2 to Finland in a friendly, with the winger completing 78 minutes.
