Spain ensured that they have the chance to successfully defend their UEFA Nations League title after booking a place in the quarterfinals thanks to a 2-1 win away to Denmark in an exciting Group 4 clash.
Mikel Oyarzabal put Spain ahead in the 15th minute with a simple finish following an excellent move that saw him exchange passes with Ayoze Perez, who squared the ball for Oyarzabal to score with his right foot.
Perez had already hit the bar and in the 28th minute, the Villarreal striker forced a good save from Kasper Schmeichel.
Spain controlled most of the game with Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino in midfield, and in the 39th minute Oyarzabal crossed for Dani Olmo to volley at Schmeichel.
The Danes were almost level a minute later after Aymeric Laporte's clearance fell to Albert Gronbaek, whose shot was deflected out for a corner.
Perez got his reward for an excellent display in the 58th minute, when he connected with an excellent pass from Olmo to score with a left-footed shot across Schmeichel for his second goal in four appearances.
With qualification all but assured, Spain coach Luis de la Fuente handed a debut to young Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado.
