2: 2! Olmo’s 4-minute blitz ended Spain’s 5-game winning streak and qualified for the World Cup undefeated.

After losing to Portugal in the UEFA Nations League final in June and failing to defend their title, Spain focused entirely on the World Cup preliminaries. As last year's European Cup champion, the Matadors did not encounter any obstacles; they won the first five rounds and scored 15 points to rank first in the group. In the early morning of November 19, Spain played against Türkiye in the final round of the World Cup preliminaries; both teams scored a goal in each half, the two teams tied 2:2, and Spain successfully qualified for the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup.

Turkey scored 12 points in the first 5 rounds, and its only defeat was to Spain; but with the advantage of goal difference, Turkey must win by a big score if it wants to overtake. Just a little bit away from qualifying, De la Fuente still sent many main players to play. Oyarzabal, Pino, and Olmo joined forces on the offensive line; Merino, Fabian Ruiz, and Alex Garcia joined forces in the midfield trio; Marcos Llorente, Kubasi, Laporte, and Cucurella guarded the defense line, and the goalkeeper was Unai Simon.

In the 4th minute of the opening, Spain launched a blitz; Cucurella made an inverted triangle cross from the left, Fabian Ruiz followed up and passed again, and Olmo shot into the net in a chaotic battle in front of the goal, 1:0! Spain, which had taken the lead early, immediately took over the initiative; in the 19th minute, Marcos Llorente made a pass from the bottom, and Oyarzabal grabbed the point and hit the ball high; in the 29th minute, Pino got rid of the defense and passed straight, Olmo stopped the ball with his heel and turned to volley, Bayindil jumped high and saved the ball with one palm.

Although Turkey didn't have many chances in the first half, one chance was enough for them to equalize the score; in the 41st minute, Turkey's corner kick attack caused chaos in front of the Spanish goal. Gul fell to the ground in front of the goal and scored, 1:1! This goal was the first conceded by Spain in this World Cup qualifying match.

In the 53rd minute just after returning from the second half, Yilmaz returned to the wing organization, Kadioglu passed the ball, Ozcan stopped the ball at the top of the arc and blasted a low kick through Unai Simon's goal, 1:2! Spain also responded immediately. In the 62nd minute, Cucurella made a cross from the left, and Pino's shot was blocked. However, Seyunju made a clearance error, and Oyazábal smiled and shot the empty goal, 2:2! Oyarzabal became the first player in Spanish team history to score in 9 consecutive games.

Spain, which only needed one point, significantly reduced its lineup in the remaining time. Turkey also knew that its strength could not surpass its opponent. In the remaining time of the game, the offensive efficiency of both sides declined significantly; in the end, the score of 2:2 was maintained until the end of the game. As a result, Spain has 5 wins and 1 draw, qualifying for the World Cup with an unbeaten record; Turkey needs to participate in the play-offs.
