We are underway at the Bursa Ataturk Stadium, and the home side have an extra incentive as they can seal a place in a top-two place in the group and move on to the playoffs if they avoid defeat against Bulgaria tonight. The visitors, however, will be up against a formidable side with nothing but pride to play for. Stay tuned!

A very attacking start from Spain, as was expected, and Oyarzabal found himself in a promising position. However, he fails to get his toe at the end of the pass.

Spain are turning in the screws. Ferran is the latest one to make inroads, before being denied by a last ditch tackle. The pressure bears fruit as the visitors get a penalty awarded by VAR after a handball in the box by a Georgia defender.

Oyarzabal steps up to take the penalty and makes no mistake. Spain take the lead, and it's nothing less than they deserve.

Spain have kept up the pressure on Georgia despite going a goal up. Baena tries to dink the ball over Mamardashvili, but it crashes against the post and goes out. Ferran then floats in a corner, but Georgia defence clears.

Zubimendi doubles Spain's lead, and it looks to be long night for Georgia already. The Arsenal midfielder received the ball from Fabian, and then caught it sweetly to send it over the head of the goalkeeper.

It's a fiesta in Tbilisi, and La Roja get their third goal of the night through Ferran Torres. Oyarzabal adds an assist to his tally, making his way into the box and cutting across the face of the goal to find the Barca forwad, who made no mistake with his finish.

After four minutes of added time, Georgia's first-half misery comes to an end as the referee blows his whistle to signal half time. Oyarzabal had a brilliant chance to make it four right before the break, but for now, the score-line remains 3-0 in favour of La Roja. A big second half awaits the home side.

The second half is underway at Tbilisi, and Spain will look to add on their massive lead from first half. One half-time change for the visitors, with Marcos Llorente replacing Pedro Porro. Georgia also make a change, with Guram Kashia replacing Saba Goglichidze.

A slightly more positive start from Georgia. It's Kvaratskhelia who turns into the provider, expertly playing a cross for Tabatadze, but the resulting header is wide. The PSG forward can't believe it!

With the match all but done, Georgia make a change, bringing on Giorgi Kvernadze in place of Iuri Tabatadze. Merino, on the other hand, gets his hname taken by the referee for a professional foul.

The fourth goal was inevitable, and it's Oyarzabal who nets his second of the night. Ferran turned provider this time, putting in a peach of a delivery that the Real Sociedad attacker headed in from close range. Spain are enjoying themselves tonight.

A couple of Giorgis come on for Georgia – Tsitaishvili and Kvilitaia – replacing Mekbavishvili and Zivizadze. Meanwhile, goalscorer Oyarzabal comes off for Borja Iglesias.

Iglesias almost makes an instant impact as he collects the ball inside the opposition's penalty box and then pulls the trigger, but Mamardashvili makes a rather comfortable safe.

Ferran Torres makes way for Yeremy Pino. Second half substitute Llorente plays a terrific forward ball that put the Georgian defence on alert, but they somehow manage to get it out.

The fourth official has added four minutes after the regulation ninety. Yeremy Pino almost gets the fifth goal, but his shot from just inside the box creeps inches wide of the post.

The referee blows his whistle to signal the end of the match. It has been all Spain tonight at Tbilisi, and Georgia's World Cup dreams are over.
