Spain are well on course to cutting the gap to Scotland at the top of Group A. They have scored a second goal in the first half in to give themselves a comfortable lead against Cyprus.
La Roja have dominated proceedings so far, and they took a deserved lead after 18 minutes. Nico Williams’ cross was turned home by Barcelona’s Gavi, who scored his fourth senior international goal.
Spain’s second came from Mikel Merino, who was once again set up by the impressive Williams, grabbing his second assist of the evening.

Luis de la Fuente will be delighted with his side so far. Two fairly early goals have taken any sort of pressure off, and the potential is there for even more goals to be scored.
Spain will hope to see this game out with relative ease, before turning their attention to next month’s fixtures. Notably, their match against group leaders Scotland, which will be crucial in deciding who finishes top in Group A.
