Mikel Oyarzabal and Ayoze Perez scored to give Spain a 2-1 win over hosts Denmark on Friday to secure top spot in their Nations League group and a place in next year's quarterfinals.

Despite missing several players who had featured in the team that beat England 2-1 in the Euro 2024 final in July, Spain still opened the scoring with strike from inside the box by Real Sociedad's Oyarzabal in the 15th minute with Perez extending their lead in a counter attack in the 58th.

A bad mistake by Spain goalkeeper David Raya, who put the ball in play with his feet, gifted Denmark's Gustav Isaksen a sitter in the 84th minute.
