Spain created danger, above all to pieces, in corners, but could not get the ball ended up in the nets. The boots had in front of the Spanish, Ivan Calero, but with only the goalkeeper sent off very attached to the bottom.

Georgia, meanwhile, came timidly to the goal of Rubén White, who had a good intervention to reject a corner. The ups of both fullbacks, Grimaldo and Bellerín, assumed the start of the offensive plays in Spain: Grimaldo tried even with a lack lateral from the edge of the area. Still, one of the lighter plays of the first forty minutes was Calero, who after a brilliant career move staff from midfield to the opponent's goal could not complete the first Spanish both.

After the break, Spain jumped onto the field wanting to retain ownership of the ball but with the aim of having to dial a while keep them alive. Instead, it was Georgia who, encouraged by an audience that was very active and cheering throughout the game, he made it more clearly: Akhvlediani first and Mzevashvili then, after a brilliant move, shook the Spanish bench.
