🇪🇸 🆚 🏴 | 1-0 | 10’ #NuestraBase | #Sub17 pic. twitter. com/b7JddtdPA7 — Selección Española Masculina de Fútbol (@SEFutbol) March 18, 2026 Tunkara was also heavily involved in the second goal which was scored by Barcelona team-mate Roberto Tomas.
The Catalans also have two other talents – Raul Exposito and Sergi Mayans – in the Under-17 team. The victory over Scotland followed on from a win over Northern Ireland and means Spain top the group with maximum points ahead of their final group game against Turkey. Spain are due to take on Turkey at the weekend and need only a draw now to secure qualification.
