La Roja cruise to dominant victory

They were hardly troubled by their opposition today, with Serbia unable to really test Simon.

The hosts’ passing, movement and finishing were simply levels above on the night.

In the end, they had 12 shots versus Serbia’s two, while also maintaining 71 percent in possession.

Oyarzabal stands out with his brace, but special mention goes to Munoz for scoring on his international debut.

Full-time: Spain 3-0 Serbia

Olmo blocked!

Munoz rushes in from the right side. He cuts back a pass to Fornals, who tees it up beautifully for Olmo to attack.

With just the keeper he beats, he ends up going high, but Milinkovic-Savic is able to keep it out from close range.

Torres denied twice

Munoz rushes forward to intercept a casual pass from Serbia by the halfway line.

He continues his speedy run, passing to Torres on his right.

Torres tries to beat the keeper, but ends up hitting it right at him. The ball deflects back, but he is once again stopped by the keeper as the ball takes a ricochet off a defender, before hitting the keeper’s leg.

GOAL! Debut goal for Munoz!

Torres runs down a lovely through ball from the halfway line.

Munoz trails just behind, on the right side, and Torres finds him with a deft flick as he starts to run out of space.

Munoz continues the run before firing past Milinkovic-Savic to score a goal on his debut.

It is the stuff of dreams, and Spain continue to dominate in Villarreal.

Match drifting

With Spain in control, there doesn’t seem to be as much pressure to go forward.

Serbia are still being kept at an arm’s length, and have yet to really test Simon this half.

Yamal goes down in the box

Oyarzabal slips a pass to Yamal on the right side of the box.

Before the Barcelona forward can do anything with it, he is knocked down by Milenkovic.
