Spain on the Brink of World Cup Qualification; Turkey Needs Seven-Goal Victory to Advance!
The Spanish national team moved closer to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup after securing a comfortable 4-0 away victory against Georgia on Saturday. This match was part of the fifth round of the European qualifiers for the tournament.
In the same Group 6, Turkey defeated Bulgaria 2-0. Turkey has already secured a playoff spot by holding second place, but direct qualification by topping the group remains "almost impossible."
Spain will host Turkey in the final matchday next Tuesday (20:45 GMT+1). "La Roja" only needs a draw to secure their spot, while Turkey would require a seven-goal victory to guarantee direct qualification.
Group 6 Standings:
1- Spain: 15 points (+19 goal difference)
2- Turkey: 12 points (+5 goal difference)
3- Georgia: 3 points (-7 goal difference)
4- Bulgaria: 0 points (-17 goal difference)
