Group A
- Scotland 2-0 Spain
For the first time in over 38 years, Scotland celebrated their victory over Spain. Midfielder Scott McTominay scored both goals for the hosts from distance to make it 2-0 (7’/51′). The Manchester United player had already scored two goals in the opening match against Cyprus. The new coach of Spain, Luis de la Fuente, made 8 changes compared to the game for Norway – and then he suffered the first defeat in his term. This is despite numerous chances for his side, who are now three points behind leaders Scotland.

Georgia equalized through George Mikotadze from Ligue 2 club Metz in the 61st minute. Norway, which qualified for the European Championship only once (2000), lost the opening match of the European Championship qualifiers to Spain 0:3 on Saturday.

Before kick-off, the Turkish spectators honored their deceased compatriots, who fell victim to the catastrophe of the severe earthquake at the beginning of February, with a magnificent choreography.
