Sweden suffered a shock 2-0 defeat in Georgia on Thursday, offering Spain a lifeline in their effort to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar next year.
In Tblisi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored twice in the second half to humble a Sweden squad that included Zlatan Ibrahimovic and rising star Alexander Isak.
When Spain plays Greece in Athens later on Thursday, they have a chance to go to the top of Group B.
Because of Sweden's misfortune, even if Spain does not win all three points, they will have a second chance to qualify for Qatar when they face the Swedes in Seville on Sunday.
