Spain have battled hard to overcome their spirited hosts Albania 2-nil in the FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifiers.

The Albanians defended superbly in the first half, with their keeper making some stunning saves. 10 minutes into the 2nd half, the visitors finally broke the deadlock through Chelsea striker Diego Costa.

Minutes later, Nolito doubled Spain’s lead after coming off the bench, riding a challenge and bending a low shot into the back of the net to secure the away victory for Spain.
