Spain vs Albania: Spain qualified
Spain 3-0 Albania: Isco in goal, while Spain has guaranteed world championships
SPAIN IS WITH THE EXCLUSIONS OF THE WORLD CARD! Confirmation that La Roja will compete in Russia next year, while Italy won a draw against Macedonia tonight, which has won a place for Julen Lopetegui's men.
Spain won their place in the 2018 World Cup after winning a 3-0 victory over Group G against Albania, as Gerard Piqué received a mixed receipt.
Julen Lopetegui's men approached Friday's game in Alicante and knew they would qualify for the final in Russia, which would improve Italy's performance against Macedonia.
However, given the quality difference between the two teams, Spain's biggest goal difference and direct advantage over Italy, the focus has always been on defender Piqué of Barcelona.
Piqué, who supports a referendum on Catalonia's efforts to divorce Spain, was whispered during an open exercise on Monday.
And the center of the back received the same treatment of his first look at the Stadium Jose Rico Perez, but managed to win in the second half.
Rodrigo opened the scoring in the 16th minute with the fourth of both Isco in Spain, and Thiago Alcantara saved the game in the 10th minute.
1-1 Italy with Macedonia means that Spain will arrive on Monday guaranteed a place in the tournament itself in the final phase of the competition, with a five point lead at the top, while Albania hopes to win a match are over.
Rodrigo scored the chance to overtake Spain because he left the left cross of Jordi Alba before Azdren Llullaku force David De Gea to run the routine on the other side.
A glorious opportunity was to ask that Rodrigo was again guilty because the cross court of Isco he could not convert, he had moved now, but the emperor Valencia quickly enamored his desire.
He managed Isco's smart pass with his head before extending a beautiful half volley over Etrit Berisha to open the scoring.
Sergio Ramos saw a tete-a-tete before his Real Madrid teammate, Isco, doubled.
Koke played Isco at the nearby post and he did not make a mistake while hanging in the upper left corner.
This doubted the game, but Albania reacted almost, whereas Llullaku hit a head against the transom
But that was only a short interval with Spain's dominant appearance, and Thiago quickly made it 3-0, and after Alvaro Odriozola nodded his right spike in a pointed cross.
Alba scored a cross Koke, who had seen the head for Berisha, while Spain after the resumption being pushed with Rodrigo again forced after any defense by the goalkeeper of Albania.
Armando Sadiku went to the left post but there were no dangerous flights for Spain and they reflect his protected rating on a very impressive campaign and perhaps look at Russia with questions about Piqué's future international on one side after drowning the first whistles were
