"Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice as he helped Spain to the brink of World Cup qualification with a 4-0 win over Georgia on Saturday. Spain sit top of Group E after five games, with a three-point lead over Turkiye, who they face in their final match on Tuesday. Ferran Torres saw an early shot blocked, but it resulted in an 11th-minute penalty as Giorgi Gocholeishvili was penalised for a handball - Oyarzabal coolly converted into the bottom-right corner."
"Spain kept the pressure on from that point, with Alex Baena striking the foot of the left post from the edge of the D before Martin Zubimendi delicately lifted his effort over Giorgi Mamardashvili and into the roof of the net 22 minutes in. Ferran made it 3-0 in the 34th minute, guiding Oyarzabal's low cross into an empty net from close range."

Oyarzabal added a second goal shortly after the hour by nodding Pedro Porro's cross in off the post. Spain finished with 14 attempts and 3.51 expected goals.
