Spain dominated Serbia 3–0 in a one-sided friendly on 27 March, with the hosts' superior control evident throughout. Operating in a 4–2–3–1 formation, Spain created a significant attacking advantage, registering 14 shots with 8 on target and accumulating 2.06 expected goals, while Serbia managed only 2 shots, both on target, from a meagre 0.14 xG. Mikel Oyarzabal led Spain's clinical finishing with two goals, converting chances that reflected the gulf in quality between the sides. Serbia's goalkeeper maintained a perfect 100 per cent save percentage, though this merely masked the visitors' complete inability to generate meaningful attacking threat. Luis Godinho oversaw the match as referee. The result underscores Spain's attacking potency ahead of upcoming qualifiers.
