Spain moved one step closer to securing a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a composed and convincing 2–0 win over Georgia in their latest UEFA qualifying match.

The breakthrough came in the 24th minute after a well-constructed move involving Pedri and Robin Le Normand, whose precise pass set up Yeremy Pino for a composed finish.

La Roja maintained control throughout, dominating possession and tempo, and sealed the win in the second half with a stunning free-kick goal from Mikel Oyarzabal in the 64th minute — a strike that left the Georgian keeper rooted to the spot.

With this result, Spain tighten their grip on top spot in Group D, continuing their unbeaten run and inching closer to automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup, set to take place in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
