Spain defeated Turkey 6:0 as a guest in a match of Group "F" of the World Football Qualifiers The European champions this time showed no mercy and unlike the away game in Sofia against Bulgaria, which they won 3:0, they calmed down only after scoring twice as many shots into the net of their helpless hosts.
Mikel Merino recorded his first hat-trick in the jersey of his homeland. Pedri added two hits and Ferran Torres scored once to make the Turks' rout spectacular.
Big star Lamin Yamal was credited with 2 assists and 2 huge misses. The Iberians had other opportunities, so the scoreline could be much more emphatic.
For Spain, this is the second biggest away win in history in a world qualifier after the 8-0 win over Liechtenstein on September 8, 2017. The Turks, on the other hand, suffered their second heaviest home defeat in a World Cup qualifier after a 0-8 defeat against England on 14 November 1984.
Spain is our group leader with 6 points. Georgia and Turkey have 3 each and we have zero.
Meanwhile, Germany beat Northern Ireland 3-1 at home in a Group A match. In this way, the Bundestag avenged the surprising defeat in the first round against Slovakia. Julian Nagelsmann's team again did not impress with their performance and for long periods of the match they looked rather lacklustre and confused. They opened the scoring through Serge Gnabry in the 7th minute, but Isaac Price equalised in the 34th minute. However, the Germans found their way to success in the second half with goals from Nadeem Amiri in the 69th and Florian Wirtz in the 73rd minute.
It was the first win and first three points for the Bundesliga side. The team occupies third place in the group. Northern Ireland is currently in second position with the same asset but a better goal difference.
