A penalty from Spain’s Pablo Sarabia secured a 1-0 victory in their World Cup qualifier away to Greece, ensuring Wales are guaranteed a play-off spot at least. La Roja themselves need a point from their showdown with Sweden at the weekend to secure a place at next year’s World Cup finals. Despite missing five players because of coronavirus isolation, Germany eased to a 9-0 win over 10-man Liechtenstein in World Cup qualifying. But already assured of qualifying for the World Cup, Germany’s straightforward task was made even easier when the Liechtenstein defender Jens Hofer was sent off after just nine minutes. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored twice in the second half to give Georgia their second win of the qualifying campaign on a sour night for the Swedes.
