"Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente said his players were "upset" with their second half display, despite cruising to a 3-0 win against Bulgaria on Thursday."
"La Roja plundered all their goals in the first half, as Mikel Oyarzabal - who now ranks joint-second for goal involvements (six) this year in European internationals - netted the first, with Marc Cucurella and Mikel Merino also scoring."
"Spain have not lost in a run of 21 games (winning 16 and drawing five), surpassing Julen Lopetegui's run of 20 in 2018 (winning 14 and drawing six) and recording the best unbeaten run since Vicente del Bosque's 26 between 2011 and 2013 (winning 20 and drawing six)."
Spain defeated Bulgaria 3-0 with all three goals scored in the first half. Mikel Oyarzabal, Marc Cucurella and Mikel Merino were the scorers. Oyarzabal now ranks joint-second for goal involvements (six) this year in European internationals. The national team remains unbeaten in 21 matches, with 16 wins and five draws, surpassing a previous 20-game run and marking the best run since a 26-match streak between 2011 and 2013. The team produced a dominant first-half display but dipped after halftime, and improvement is needed ahead of the Turkiye match on Sunday.
