Spain Clinches Virtual World Cup Qualification with Dominant 4-0 Win over Georgia

Spain's national football team delivered a commanding 4-0 victory against Georgia in Tbilisi during the World Cup 2026 qualification, virtually securing their place in the tournament. The match showcased Spain's depth and cohesive team dynamics under coach Luis de la Fuente, with standout performances that kept their perfect defensive record intact.

Mikel Oyarzabal shined as a key player, scoring twice—first from a penalty in the 11th minute and again in the 63rd minute. Supporting him were Mikel Zubimendi, who scored in the 22nd minute, and Ferran Torres with a goal in the 35th minute, contributing to a comprehensive and confident Spanish victory. This marked Spain's fourth consecutive win against Georgia, extending their unbeaten run on Georgian soil.

Remarkably, Spain has not conceded a single goal during the qualification campaign, boasting a remarkable goal difference of 19-0 over five matches. This defensive solidity is part of a broader record of 30 consecutive official matches without a loss, surpassing the streak achieved by Spain’s 2010 World Cup-winning team.

The squad has blended two generations of talent, including promising newcomers and Olympic champions like Cubarsí, Baena, Fermín, and Barrios, alongside established players. This fusion has built a robust and competitive unit. Despite the absence of six key Euro 2024 players, the "second unit" has stepped up, creating healthy competition and internal strength. The squad maintains a positive atmosphere and unity, undeterred by past setbacks or external pressures.

With this victory, Spain leads their qualification group with 15 points and will secure first place regardless of the forthcoming match result against Turkey, barring a heavy defeat. The team's resilient defense and potent attack position them as strong contenders as they head into the World Cup preparation phase.

Coach Luis de la Fuente’s leadership continues to demonstrate that Spain's national team combines talent, unity, and tactical discipline to maintain their status as one of the world’s top football sides.
