Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the World Cup qualifier between Spain and Macedonia. We'll bring you all the goals and action as it happens. Kick-off: 19.45.

MONREAL SHOT BLOCKED! Vitolo took his time at the byline to get his head up and play a pass to the edge of the box, but the left back's effort is blocked by a Macedonian defender.

It's taken them a while but Spain seem to have finally taken a grip of this game. They are starting to knock the ball around and are camped on the edge of the opposition box.

Koke got to the byline after a passing move by Spain and played a low cross to the near post. The Macedonian goalkeeper dealt with it, but clashed with one of his own players in the process.

That opportunity for the away side just demonstrates how unsettled Spain are at the back. They are playing with something of a patched up back four. That could be a favour.

CHANCE FOR MACEDONIA! That should have been 1-0 to the away side. Mojsov escaped his marker at the back post, but could only direct his header straight at De Gea.

There are a number of key players missing through injury for Spain. But perhaps the biggest miss will prove to be both Pique and Ramos at the back. They are sidelined.

In fact, Silva is Spain's current top goalscorer out of players still involved in the national team set up. He has become a central figure for the national team under Lopetegui.

David Silva is making his 108th appearance for Spain this evening and he is wearing the captain's armband for the first time. The Manchester City playmaker is Spain's leader for this one.

So this should be rather straightforward for Spain tonight, yes? Macedonia are ranked a lowly 155 in the FIFA rankings. The hosts will be confident of claiming three points from this one.

The match is under way! It's Spain against Macedonia in World Cup qualification.
