Spain maintains its partial victory. The match has been quite disorganized between both teams, there has been no fluidity in the game, and neither team has created scoring opportunities, so, for the moment, the excitement has not reached the stadium.

Pedro Porro took the first shot, followed by Oyarzabal with two attempts that were cleared by the Georgia goalkeeper’s post consecutively. An incredible opportunity for the home team with two dangerous shots at the start of the second half.

Ferran Torres had Spain’s first chance of the second half, shooting with his right foot from the right side of the box, very close to the right post, but the ball went slightly wide. Spain still wins the match 1-0.

Pedro Porro’s  furious  shot from  the right wing took absolutely everyone by surprise. Giorgi  Mamardashvili had to work hard to tip the ball over for a corner. Great save by the Georgian  goalkeeper.

Mikel Oyarzabal tried again for Spain, with a  close-range header from the left side after a corner kick.  The ball failed to go in and went wide. Spain continues to maintain possession  of  the  ball.

There are still no goals on the scoreboard. The game has been quite disjointed between both teams, there has been no flow to the game, and neither team has created any scoring opportunities, so for the moment, the excitement has not reached the stadium.

The European Qualifiers are the qualifying tournament organized by UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) to determine which European national teams will participate in the FIFA World Cup.
In this process, the continent’s teams are divided into groups and play each other in home and away matches. The teams that finish first in each group qualify directly for the World Cup, while the runners-up usually compete in a playoff round to decide who will fill the remaining spots.

The 2026 World Cup will be special because it will be the first with 48 teams, instead of the usual 32, which increases the number of places available for each region. Each confederation organizes its own qualifying format, which includes group stages, knockout rounds, or mini-leagues, depending on the region.

The 2026 World Cup Qualifiers are the qualifying tournaments organized by FIFA in each of its continental confederations, with the aim of determining which national teams will earn a spot to participate in the 2026 World Cup, to be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
More than 200 teams from around the world participate in these qualifiers, divided into six confederations: CONMEBOL (South America), CONCACAF (North America, Central America, and the Caribbean), UEFA (Europe), CAF (Africa), AFC (Asia), and OFC (Oceania).
