The match, held at Stadion Vasil Levski in front of over 40,000 fans, highlighted Spain's dominance as they look to solidify their position in the qualifying campaign.

Dean Huijsen, who started the match, delivered an impressive performance at center-back, further solidifying his reputation as a cornerstone for Real Madrid's defensive future. Over the course of the match, Huijsen completed 98 out of 104 passes, achieving an outstanding 94% success rate. His ability to break lines and create chances underlined his composure and tactical understanding, which align well with Spain’s playing style. Defensively, he showcased intelligence and authority, making four clearances, one block, and winning 67% of his aerial duels. At just 20 years old, Huijsen is proving himself as a player ready to take on significant responsibilities at both club and international levels.

Dani Carvajal also made a notable impact, coming off the bench to replace Pedro Porro. Although his time on the pitch was limited to 28 minutes, Carvajal completed all 25 of his passes, demonstrating his reliability and precision. While his attacking contributions were minimal, his defensive efforts helped maintain Spain's composure and control in the latter stages of the match, further establishing him as a trusted figure for the national team.

With goals from Mikel Oyarzabal, Marc Cucurella, and Mikel Merino sealing the victory, Spain's performance sets a positive tone for their World Cup qualifying campaign. The contributions from Huijsen and Carvajal highlight the depth and talent within the squad, as they prepare for upcoming challenges in their quest for World Cup glory.
