Spain delivered a dominant performance in Tbilisi, defeating Georgia 4–0 in their Group E clash of the FIFA World Cup 2026 European Qualifiers. The victory keeps La Roja unbeaten in the campaign and places them firmly on the brink of securing their spot at next year’s tournament.
Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring with a penalty in the 11th minute before Martín Zubimendi doubled the lead in the 22nd minute. Ferran Torres added a third goal in the 34th minute, and Oyarzabal struck again in the second half to complete his brace and seal the emphatic win.
Spain’s defensive resilience was equally impressive, as Luis de la Fuente’s side extended their streak of five consecutive clean sheets. With 19 goals scored and none conceded across their qualifiers so far, the reigning European champions have showcased both attacking flair and defensive solidity.
Georgia, meanwhile, struggled to contain Spain’s relentless pressure. Despite home support at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, the hosts managed little in attack and remain with just one win in the qualifiers, making their chances of reaching the finals increasingly slim.
Spain now lead Group E with 15 points from five matches. Their final qualifier against Turkey will be decisive, but with momentum firmly on their side, La Roja appear poised to confirm their place at the 2026 World Cup.
