CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE MATCH SUMMARY

There are fleeting, summer, intermittent, prolonged, eternal loves... and then there's the Spanish National Team's relationship with Granada.

The city of the Alhambra (La Roja in Arabic) has once again proven to be a good luck charm on the team's path to the upcoming Euro Cup.

Six goals to add to the seven against Georgia, culminating a dream week that paves the way to the final phase.

Against Cyprus, Luis de la Fuente maintained the goalkeeper and defense and made changes in midfield and wings compared to the team in Tbilisi, while keeping the same offensive spirit.

Spain has created 27 clear goal-scoring opportunities and dominated possession 71% of the time.

From the initial whistle, Spain was pouring forward towards Joel Mall's goal, who could barely contain the onslaught of the National Team with his defense.

The deadlock was broken just over a quarter of an hour in, thanks to the highway that Nico Williams turned the left flank into, providing two golden balls to Gavi first on the ground and to Mikel Merino shortly after with a header to extend the lead at halftime.

In the second half, changes were made, and the finishing efficiency was unleashed with Joselu and a tremendous Ferran Torres scoring a double.

Álex Baena made his debut and scored a goal with the first ball he touched as a full international, a remarkable feat.

A special mention should also be made of an outstanding Carvajal in the assists and the providential appearance of Álex Baena who, in an unusual occurrence, scored a goal on the first ball he had touched as a full international.

A final clean sheet and three more important points in the standings, with leader Scotland looming on the horizon on Thursday, October 12, Hispanidad Day, on the turf of La Cartuja in Seville.
