56' Spain's fullbacks, Gaya and Azpilicueta, are getting forward at every opportunity and trying to cause problems for the visiting defence. Gaya has now been involved in seven goals in his previous 11 starts for Spain - scoring three goals and assisting four.
54' Kashia comes to the rescue for Georgia as he concedes a corner while clearing Ferran Torres' cross. Without that block, Ruiz had a tap-in at the far post.
50' It is as we were. Spain are dominating possession and looking to find another goal; Georgia are defending for their lives and trying to keep the scoreline at 3-0. Let's see who wins this battle in the next 40 minutes!
47' We are back underway!
Georgia were always expected to lose this fixture tonight, and they will be playing for pride in the second half. Sagnol's side are not really doing anything in attack, so they have 45 minutes to try and keep the scoreline at 3-0.
Spain deservedly lead at the break, and there's every chance they add to their tally in the second 45 minutes. Georgia did what they could to keep them at bay for ten minutes, but Gaya opened the scoring four minutes later. His deflected shot sent Loria the wrong way, before Soler made it two-nil in the 25th minute. He converted Llorente's cross, who also played a part in Torres' third goal, with the latter finishing from a tight angle.
45' + 2' HALF-TIME - SPAIN 3-0 GEORGIA.
45' Two minutes of stoppage time to come...
43' A pretty perfect first-half for Spain so far. Georgia have not tested Simon in goal, and they have got themselves into a groove in front of goal.
38' Sarabia tries his luck from range, but he fails to generate any power, and Loria easily saves his left-footed strike.
33' GOAL DISALLOWED!!! Spain fire home for a third time, but Gaya's second goal of the night is chalked off. Torres was the man who teed him up, but it was the Manchester City player who strayed offside.
30' We have our first cooling break!
27' Georgia find themselves fighting against the tide with over an hour left of this match!
24' Rodri has been instrumental in Spain's game plan so far, and thanks to him, they continue to churn out attack after attack. Georgia need to try and stop him from finding so much space before it is too late.
22' CLOSE!!! Ferran Torres teases the Georgian backline with a mazy run before crossing the ball via a backheel, but the visitors clear the danger before Ruiz could pull the trigger.
19' Gaya is clearly in the mood tonight as he tries to beat Loria at his near post, only to see the goalkeeper fumble his shot before diving on the loose ball.
17' Georgia need to be careful here before the floodgates open, they will feel hard done by, but if they lose their shape or take too many risks, they will soon find themselves two or even three behind.
13' Georgia are starting to open up a little bit more when in possession, but their latest attack is thwarted by some good work in defence from Spain as they rushed back to block Azarovi's cross.
10' Georgia launch a rare counter-attack just as the 10th-minute mark approaches, but Davitashvili ruins their momentum when he gives away a free-kick while trying to get goal-side of Gaya.
8' Georgia know they are up against it tonight, and to try and neutralise the home side, they have everybody behind the ball. Spain are one of the best teams in Europe but they will need to be sharp and accurate if they are to find a way through the congested midfield.
5' Loria makes his first save of the match as he comes off of his line to catch Gaya's cross as Spain made their way to the edge of the Georgia box.
3' We are only a couple of minutes into this World Cup qualifier, and Georgia have barely had a touch of the ball, with Spain just building out from the back so far.
1' We are underway in Badajoz!
Kick-off is fast approaching in Spain, with both teams now on the field, and they are waiting for the national anthems.

Spain showed signs of rustiness as they let a 1-0 lead slip against Sweden, but they will fancy their chances of putting Georgia to the sword this evening in Badajoz. These two sides have met on four occasions in the past, with Spain winning three of those meetings, including a 2-1 success in March.
Despite their midweek defeat to Sweden, La Roja are still second in Group B with seven points from four matches. Georgia have only managed to pick up one point from their first four games, losing 1-0 to Kosovo on Thursday.
Hello and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the 2022 World Cup qualifier between Spain and Georgia. The home side will be hoping to bounce back from Thursday's disappointing defeat to Sweden, while Georgia are looking for their first win in qualifying.
