Spain Within Reach of 2026 World Cup After 4-0 Win in Georgia

A commanding goal‑difference cushion means Spain needs only to avoid a heavy defeat in Tuesday’s decider to finish first in Group E.

Overview

  • Spain routed Georgia 4-0 in Tbilisi to remain top of Group E.
  • The standings now show Spain on 15 points with a +19 goal difference and Turkey on 12 with +5 after Turkey beat Bulgaria 2-0 in Bursa.
  • Spain will qualify with a draw in Tuesday’s head‑to‑head in Seville, or even with a loss if Turkey does not overturn the goal‑difference gap.
  • Given the current margin, Turkey would need to win by seven without conceding to take first place.
  • A 6-0 win over Turkey in September underpins Spain’s cushion, while Turkey’s latest victory has at least secured it a playoff berth.
