Spain and Turkey drew 2–2 in a World Cup qualifier that saw the hosts dominate possession and chances but fail to convert their superiority into victory. Playing in a 4–3–3 formation, Spain controlled 73 per cent of the ball and generated 3.08 expected goals from 21 shots, with nine efforts on target; Mikel Oyarzabal and Dani Olmo found the net. Turkey, deployed defensively in a 5–4–1 shape, restricted themselves to 13 shots but made them count, registering 7 on target despite an xG of just 1.43. Spain's goalkeeper made one save above expected quality, whilst Turkey's custodian performed well with a 77.78 per cent save rate across nine shots faced. The visitors' resilience prevented Spain from capitalising on their territorial dominance, leaving both sides with a point apiece. The draw leaves Spain's qualification hopes dependent on forthcoming fixtures against lower-ranked opponents.
