Obviously, Spain, in another good match, beat Georgia and virtually guaranteed qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Luis de la Fuente’s men will conclude the group stage next Tuesday in La Cartuja against Turkey, which despite beating … Bulgaria will need a miracle of victory to snatch first place from a record-breaking team, because on Saturday they went 30 consecutive matches without losing, one more than they achieved during Vicente del Bosque’s time on the bench.
A practically perfect qualifying stage for Spain, who have yet to concede a goal.
He was on the grass but almost went unnoticed as he barely had to tackle, and it took him an hour to receive the first shot from an opponent at a long shot. The calmness of the goalkeeper, who throughout the second half showed great speed and great courage in an individual match to avoid the local goal, was a reflection of Spain’s absolute superiority.
Extremaduran is taking advantage of Carvajal’s absence and settling in on the right side of the team. Solid in defence, he drew with Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian threat, very short and menacing in attack. Excellent assist for Oyarzabal down the stretch of the first half on a play that almost ended up in the net. He was substituted in the first half.
Good understanding with Koparci in the heart of defence. His presence has increased competition in the Spanish defence, which is excellent news for Luis de la Fuente.
Excellent in distributing the ball, without any losses. Marshal in the Spanish midfield. The wonderful performance ended with a goal, the third for the Arsenal player with the first team.
He opened the field on the left wing, but the Georgians were unable to discover him with his movements in all areas of the field. Strong in defense, he came close to scoring with a shot that hit the post from the edge of the penalty area.
The Georgian goalkeeper conceded four goals in which he was not at fault, but avoided a major defeat when he blocked an Oyarzabal shot with his foot at the end of the first half, and also made two great saves in the second half in a one-on-one with Borja Iglesias and a shot from Baena.
Dynamically, the Andalusian was perfectly compatible with Zobimendi in the team’s engine room. His assist for the second goal was fantastic, and he is a complete player who once again showed his ability to manage time in the match.
He played on the right wing, but was once again faithful to his appointment with the goal in a typical nine-man shot. He scored in the first half, equaling the goals scored by the national team with players like Sergio Ramos and Di Stefano (23), and assisted the fourth goal.
Quickly, the local star tried it by riding from the left, but it hardly alarmed the Spaniards. He ended up testing Onai with a low shot a quarter of an hour before the end of the match. The striker did not perform as well as the rest of his teammates, despite receiving a yellow card from Merino.
He celebrated his 50th cap for Spain with a brace. He opened the scoring ten minutes later from a penalty kick, a luck that once again showed he was safe, and he finished the scoring with another good performance with a header that he sent into the net after the break. There are already 21 goals scored by the striker with the national team.
He enjoyed twenty minutes, enough time to show his quality. He left Borja alone with the help of an assist that the Celta striker failed to send into the cage.
He came on after the break to add muscle and fitness to the team. Decisive in two drives in which he got to the baseline to assist Baena, saving the Georgians’ best chance.
