Victor Munoz Marks Debut with Goal as Spain Dominates Serbia 3-0
Spain secured a comfortable 3-0 victory against Serbia in their first international friendly of 2026 at La Ceramica. Although originally slated to face Argentina in La Finalissima, which was canceled due to venue disagreements, the Spanish squad still enjoyed a triumphant outing on home turf.
This match against Serbia served as an important preparation for Spain ahead of the 2026 World Cup, where they are expected to be strong contenders. The game, largely straightforward, saw Spain establish a two-goal lead within the first 44 minutes, with Mikel Oyarzabal continuing his excellent international scoring run with a brace.
These early goals allowed head coach Luis de la Fuente to make tactical substitutions in the second half, providing key players like Pedri, Lamine Yamal, and Oyarzabal a deserved rest. Among the new entrants was Victor Munoz, who made an immediate and memorable impact on his La Roja debut by scoring the third goal of the evening.
The scoring play began with Rodri Hernandez, followed by Dani Olmo's assist to Ferran Torres, whose clever backheel set up Osasuna winger Munoz for an easy finish inside the penalty area. This quintessential Spanish goal created an unforgettable moment for the 22-year-old and significantly boosted his prospects for selection this summer.
Spain Kicks Off 2026 Season Impressively
It proved to be a successful night for Spain, extending their unbeaten run in 90 minutes to two years. They aim to carry this momentum into their upcoming home fixture against Egypt next week, which will be their final match before a crucial summer of competition in North America.
