Spain began their UEFA World Cup qualification campaign with a comfortable 3-0 away win over Bulgaria on September 5, 2025. The match at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia was a demonstration of Spain's technical superiority. La Roja controlled possession from the outset and opened the scoring with a flowing team move finished by their dynamic winger. They added a second before halftime from the penalty spot after a handball. The third goal, a powerful strike from outside the box, sealed the victory midway through the second half. Bulgaria offered little in attack, with Spain's defense rarely troubled. This commanding start puts Spain at the top of their group table with a strong goal difference.
