    And the final whistle goes as Spain gets these 3 vital points! Not the best game by the Spanish side but the great goals first by Fornals and then by Ferrán are enough to dismantle the though defense Kosovo presented throughout the whole game. Thank you very much for following the game with us

  • 79'
    Amazing save by Unai Simón! Rashica opened up for Bytyqi who shot on his own, but Simon's save keeps the lead for Spain.
  • 78'
    Great chance for Spain that ends up on a corner. Adama Traore makes a great cross to Ferran but the header is saved by Muric.

    Good overall game by Morata, pressed well, gave an assist and won most of the aerial duels he disputed
  • 71'
    Morata goes off for Sarabia
  • 69'
    Good ball movement in the midfield by Spain, but Kosovo's deffence is playing an outstanding game until now. Very well-organized, very solid
  • 68'
    It's been quite quiet for the last couple of minutes, Spain still searching for that second goal

    Double substitution for Spain: Adama Traore gets in for the goal scorer Pablo Fornals; and Azpilicueta comes in for Carlos Soler
  • 57'
    Morata takes a long shot, saved by Muric

    Great chance for Kosovo! Somehow Muriqi missed the best chance they had in the whole game! One on one that ended up on the side of the net on Simon's goal
  • 46'
    The second half started just as the first finished. Spain moving the ball confortably as Kosovo waits for their chance to punish on a counter.
  • 45'
    Kosovo gets it back underway
  • 45'
    HT: Kosovo 0 Spain 1; Luis Enrique's team is pressing high and moving the ball fast, however they are missing more creativity on the end of the pitch. With just 30% of the ball possession, Kosovo is also having some good chances on counters. If Spain don't score a second goal soon, Kosovo can be really dangerous on fast counters with men like Rashani or Rashica.
  • 43'
    Great chance for Morata, good header that goes off by inches
  • 31'
    The West Ham player scores his first international goal for Spain after a great collective play

    Great play by Ferrán THAT gets another corner for Spain
  • 25'
    Another great counter for Kosovo, Rashica with a great play gets the corner for his team
  • 23'
    At the moment Spain moves the ball from one side to another, however the lack of creativity on the last quarter of the pitch maintains Kosovo's chances alive
  • 14'
    Another chance for Kosovo, Rashani with a long shot, that passed a few inches away from Simon's post.
  • 9'
    Another chance for Rashica, this time saved by Simón. The flag was up!
  • 7'
    First chance for Kosovo, Laporte makes a mistake, fortunately for the Spaniards, Rashica's first touch wasn't good enough
  • 4'
    Great high pressure by Spain, who is making moving the ball a very difficult task for the home team
  • 3'
    Great play by Ferran Torres, who managed to get a corner after dribbling past two defenders
  • 1'
