In Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, the Spanish national team took the lead with a hat-trick in the first half, scored by Mikel Oyarzabal, Martin Zobimendi and Ferran Torres in the 11th, 22nd and 35th minutes.

In the second half, Oyarzabal added his second goal to conclude the Spaniards’ quadruple in the 63rd minute.

At the same time, the Turkish national team defeated its guest, Bulgaria, with a score of 2-0.

Hakan Calhanoglu scored the first goal for Turkey in the 18th minute from a penalty kick, and Bulgaria’s Atanas Chernev added the second goal by mistake against his team in the 83rd minute.

Thus, the Spanish national team is at the top of Group E with 15 points from 5 consecutive victories, achieving the full mark by scoring 19 goals without conceding a goal.

As for the Georgian national team, its score froze at 3 points in third place, and the Bulgarian national team remained without a score at the bottom of the standings in fourth place.

The Turkish team raised its score to 12 points in second place, keeping its very weak hope alive, as it faces an almost impossible task against Spain in the sixth and final round, next Tuesday.

As for the Spanish national team, which won the European Championship title “Euro 2024” in Germany, it has three chances, either winning or drawing with any result, or losing by a difference of less than 14 goals.
