The Spain national team played another World Cup qualifying match, facing off against the footballers from Georgia. From the opening minutes, the Spanish side seized the initiative, showcasing a high tempo and confident ball control. Midfielder Pedri was at the center of attention, setting the pace of the game and repeatedly creating dangerous chances near the opponent’s goal.
Pedro Porro stood out in particular, operating on the right flank of the defense. His activity and precise forward runs allowed the Spanish team to consistently threaten the Georgian goal. In the first half, the team’s efforts paid off: in the 24th minute, Yeremi Pino opened the scoring, taking advantage of a pass after a corner kick.
Georgian goalkeeper Mamardashvili repeatedly saved his team from major trouble, stopping difficult shots and preventing the Spaniards from extending their lead. However, the pressure from the home side did not let up, and in the second half Mikel Oyarzabal doubled the score, converting a free kick in the 64th minute.
Despite the absence of some key players, the Spanish team maintained their momentum. Even after a missed penalty, when Ferran Torres failed to outplay the goalkeeper, the team continued to control the game. The penalty incident highlighted the competition among players for the right to take spot kicks, which has become a noticeable trend in recent matches.
After the second goal, the Spanish coaching staff gave their key players a rest by substituting Pedri and Pedro Porro. Despite the defeat, the Georgian team avoided a rout and managed to secure a respectable result. For Spain, this victory marks another step toward qualifying for the World Cup, while for their opponents, it serves as an opportunity for analysis and improvement.
In recent years, Georgian football has made significant strides, and the squad now includes players competing for top European clubs. However, against Spain’s tactics and ball control, they still struggle to offer a serious challenge. Spain continues to move confidently toward its goal, showcasing a mature and well-organized game.
