Spain Dominate Georgia to Stay Perfect in World Cup Qualifying

Spain continued their flawless start to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers with a comfortable 2-0 win over Georgia in Elche, maintaining top spot in Group E with maximum points from three games.

Luis de la Fuente’s side were rarely troubled on home soil, controlling possession and dictating the tempo throughout.

First-Half Control

The breakthrough came in the 24th minute when Yeremy Pino slotted home from close range after Robin Le Normand headed the ball down inside the six-yard box.

Spain could have doubled their lead shortly after when Ferran Torres was brought down by Giorgi Mamardashvili, but the Georgia keeper redeemed himself by saving the resulting penalty to keep his side in the match.

Second-Half Brilliance

Pedro Porro came close to scoring with a brilliant curler that struck the post, but Spain’s pressure eventually paid off.

Mikel Oyarzabal stepped up and delivered a moment of magic, curling a powerful free-kick inside Mamardashvili’s near post to seal the win.

Spain continued to dominate possession and chances, but the two goals were enough to secure a third straight victory.
