In a European Championship qualifying match at the Nuevo Los Carmenes Stadium, the Spanish national team defeated the Cypriot team. The Spanish team scored an impressive 2-0 victory at half-time and 6-0 in regulation time. The match showed the skill and prowess of the Spanish players who made their opponents fight for the victory. From the very beginning, it was evident that Spain had a combative attitude. The first goal was scored in the 18th minute thanks to an impressive strike from Gavi. The young Spanish player showed his talent and potential, setting the tone for the rest of the match. As time went on, Spain continued to push forward and in the 33rd minute, M. Merino succeeded in doubling Spain's lead. However, a goal cancelled due to offside in the 39th minute denied Spain the opportunity to further increase their lead. Despite this setback, Spain remained determined and focused, with A. Morata coming close to scoring. Just before the break, passions flared up as Cypriot G. Kastanos received a yellow card in the 45th minute. This added to the heat of the match as both teams went into the second half wanting to succeed.

In the 46th minute Cyprus made the first substitution: K. Kyriacou was replaced by M. Ioannou. In the same minute Spain made two substitutions: N. Williams and Y. Pino replaced their partners. In the 61st minute the substitutions continued and both teams made several changes in the line-up. The fresh energised the game, allowing the players to show their individual qualities and contribute to the overall performance of their teams. Spain's dominance was undeniable, with Joselu scoring in the 70th minute and F. Torres adding two more goals in the 73rd and 83rd minutes. And in the 77th minute, A. Baena scored a goal, further consolidating Spain's advantage. Despite all efforts, Cyprus could not find their rhythm, and the only substitution in the 90th minute was too late. The final score of 6-0 reflected Spain's overwhelming dominance throughout the match. This convincing victory further cemented Spain's position as a formidable force in international football. The dominant performance against Cyprus in this European Championship qualifier emphasises the depth and talent of the Spanish team.
