Match Reports
Spain made it four wins from as many games in Euro 2020 qualifying despite coach Luis Enrique's continued absence as a second-half flurry saw them beat Sweden 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday.
Luis Enrique has been on leave since March due to a family emergency, but Robert Moreno continues to keep the ship on course in his stead, with Serio Ramos, Alvaro Morata and Alvaro Oyarzabal scoring in the final 26 minutes to send Spain five points clear in Group F.
Sweden could count themselves extremely fortunate to remain on level terms until the break, as Robin Olsen was forced into several fine saves and Dani Parejo had a goal controversially disallowed.
But Spain eventually found a way past Olsen via Ramos' penalty, before Morata netted the game's second spot-kick and Oyarzabal wrapped up the routine win.
Match Events
16' OFFSIDE! Rodrigo scores but goal is disallowed
Spain eventually bundle the ball in the net from Rodrigo, but Alba's ball for Parejo in the build-up was called offside.
64' Penalty Goal! Spain 1-0 Sweden (Ramos)
GOAL! 1-0 SPAIN! Ramos steps up, pauses for a moment and coolly sends Olsen the wrong way! You can't say that Spain don't deserve it. What can Sweden do going forward now?
85' Penalty Goal! Spain 2-0 Sweden (Morata)
GOAL! 2-0 SPAIN! Morata is the one to take the penalty this time and scores as easily as Ramos did earlier. Sweden will have to accept defeat.
87' GOAL! Spain 3-0 Sweden (Oyarzabal)
GOAL! 3-0 SPAIN! It's a lovely one too. Sweden leave themselves open at the back. Fabian feeds Oyarzabal who shapes his body wonderfully and curls a left-footed shot past the diving Olsen into the far bottom corner.
