Spain Surge Toward 2026 WC Berth; Switzerland Too Prosper

By IANS News November 16, 2025 • 11:19 AM View: 471

Spain moved to the brink of sealing its place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a 4-0 victory over Georgia, led by an outstanding performance from Mikel Oyarzabal in the ninth round of World Cup qualifiers.

Luis de la Fuente's men imposed their rhythm from the opening minutes in Tbilisi, pressing high and unsettling the hosts. Their early dominance was rewarded when Ferran Torres' cross struck a Georgian defender's arm, allowing Oyarzabal to convert a calm penalty.
