Puebla was the ideal setting for Spain's national team to close its path to the World Cup with a win. La Roja defeated Peru in a match that marked the return of the Spanish team to one of Mexico's historic football venues. The Cuauhtémoc Stadium, filled with Spanish and Puebla fans, was witness to an exciting match that ended with a 2-0 result in favor of the Spanish team. Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedri were the goal-scorers for La Roja, who demonstrated their strength and skill on the field. The Puebla fans responded to the call and filled the stadium, turning the Coloso de Maravillas into a genuine extension of Spanish territory. From hours before the match, the surroundings of the stadium were transformed into a party. Complete families, fans arrived from different states of the country and numerous Spanish fans residing in Mexico and particularly in Puebla, gathered to live a night that, beyond the result, represented the return of one of the most important teams in the planet to one of Mexico's historic football venues. The Cuauhtémoc Stadium looked like a rare sight in recent years. The tribunes were dressed in red, the Spanish shirts dominated the landscape and each appearance of the European footballers during the warm-up was received with an ovation. Puebla responded like a world-class city and remembered why it continues to be a place capable of hosting international events of the first level. With just a week to go before the World Cup debut against Cape Verde, Luis de la Fuente opted for a lineup very close to the one that could be used in the World Cup opener. The absences of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams continued to be a topic of conversation throughout the night, but the Riojan coach made it clear that the collective functioning continues to be the main strength of his team. From the first minutes, Spain took possession of the ball and the actions. Just four minutes into the game, Mikel Oyarzabal appeared inside the area to open the scoring and confirm that the football difference between the two teams could be reflected quickly in the result. Peru tried to respond with order and sacrifice, but the Spanish circulation found spaces with ease. The permanent possession ended up exhausting the South Americans and, after half an hour of play, the second blow arrived. Ferrán Torres outflanked on the right and sent a precise service to Pedri, who appeared unmarked to push the ball into the net and establish the 2-0. The advantage allowed Spain to administer the match without losing control. Meanwhile, the Puebla fans continued to celebrate the return of La Roja to one of Mexico's historic football venues.
