"Spain are all but certain to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after thrashing Georgia 4-0, despite the absence of Lamine Yamal following the Barcelona star's groin surgery. La Roja's 100 percent record in Group E was never in doubt as they swept aside their hosts in Tbilisi, with a double from Mikel Oyarzabal and goals from Martin Zubimendi and Ferran Torres securing an emphatic victory."
"Alex Baena struck the post seven minutes later before Zubimendi doubled Spain's advantage with a chipped finish after he was played through by Fabian Ruiz. Oyarzabal turned provider when he slipped in Torres to convert from close range 11 minutes before half-time, and the same pair combined again to put the game beyond doubt 18 minutes into the second half. This time Torres was the creator, his cross headed in off the post by Oyarzabal, whose second took his tally in qualifying to five goals."
Spain thrashed Georgia 4-0 in Tbilisi, maintaining a 100 percent record in Group E and moving closer to qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Lamine Yamal missed the match due to groin surgery, but Spain showcased strength in depth. Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice — a penalty in the 11th minute and a second which was headed in off the post — and provided an assist. Martin Zubimendi and Ferran Torres also scored, with Torres creating Oyarzabal's second. Spain lead Turkey by three points with a 15-goal superior goal difference; Turkey's win over Bulgaria keeps Spain unconfirmed mathematically.
