Yamine Lamal was a key player for Spain, securing a penalty kick. Mikel Oyarzabal then converted the spot kick. Pedro Porro added another goal, cementing Spain’s win.

Spain’s defense has been stellar, allowing only one goal in seven matches. They maintain a national record of 37 unbeaten matches under coach Luis de la Fuente.
