Macedonia vs. Spain: Score and Reaction from Euro 2016 Qualifier

Juan Mata scored the only goal as Spain beat Macedonia in their Euro 2016 qualifier on Tuesday, a snoozefest La Roja easily controlled thanks to an early lead.

A failed cross that looped over the goalkeeper was enough to give Spain the win, and with Slovakia only managing a draw against Ukraine, Spain now lead Group C by two points with just two matches left to play.

There were few positives to take away from Tuesday's clash, which saw more rash tackles than actual chances, but at this point, qualification for next year's tournament is all that matters.
