Fornals and Torres strike as Spain win in Kosovo | OneFootball

Spain collected another three points as they defeated Kosovo in Thursday night's World Cup qualifier.

A first half drive from West Ham midfielder Pablo Fornals and a late strike from Manchester City's Ferran Torres fired Spain to a 2-0 win at Kosovo in Group B of World Cup Qualifying for Qatar 2022 on Wednesday night at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina.

The Spain victory, along with Sweden's loss at Greece, now gives La Roja a four-point lead in the group, although with two matches in hand for the Swedes.

Nevertheless, Spain now control their destiny as they could finish ahead of Sweden with a home win over the Scandinavians on the final matchday in November.

Spain coach Luis Enrique made several changes from the starting XI that blew past Georgia on Sunday.

Marcos Llorente started again, but this at right-back, while Inigo Martinez and Tottenham fullback Sergio Reguilon were new inclusions in the back four.

Sergio Busquets and Koke earned returned to the starting line-up in midfield, as did Fornals and Alvaro Morata up top.
