The starting four strikers were Ferran Torres, Oyarzabal, Dani Olmo and Joselu. Zubimendi and Merino were in charge of controlling the ball in midfield. With an unfamiliar formation, Spain played somewhat unconnectedly at the start of the match.

Albania suddenly pushed up their formation to attack in search of a goal. In the first 10 minutes, Spain struggled to defend against Albania's relentless attacks. However, Albania did not create any clear chances.

Although playing at a disadvantage, Spain showed their sharpness in the 13th minute. From a pass from Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres escaped down the right wing and then shot diagonally into the far corner, defeating the Albanian goalkeeper, opening the score 1-0 for Spain.

After conceding the goal, Albania lost their spirit and they let Spain control the match. Coach De La Fuente's team played quite leisurely, while Albania was stuck every time they had a chance to counterattack.

In the 40th minute, from a cross from the left wing, Ferran Torres flew to head the ball over the crossbar. Three minutes later, Mikel Merino fired a long shot from outside the box that went wide of the post.

The first chance came for Albania in the 44th minute, Kristjan Asllani fired a powerful shot that forced goalkeeper David Raya to fly to block. The first half ended with the advantage belonging to Spain and the second half had only started for 2 minutes, Joselu flew to hook the ball but the ball went wide of the post.

Albania tried to push up the formation while Spain played somewhat subjectively and lacked concentration in defense. In the 65th minute, Armando Broja entered the penalty area and quickly kicked the ball, forcing goalkeeper Raya to work hard to save the goal for Spain.

Two star strikers Alvaro Morata and Lamine Yamal were brought on, however, Spain's attacking game did not improve. They almost conceded a goal in the 90th minute when Broja kicked the ball out of the box in a chaotic situation.
