Spain's new under 21 side got off to a winning start in the opening game of the 2007-9 European Championship qualifiers. Iñaki Sáez's team beat Georgia 0-1 thanks to a second half strike from Villarreal full back José Enrique following a corner. Sisi and Jurado were a constant threat throughout the first half, and Miguel Torres fired a shot just over the bar after the restart. Barcelona's 16 year old striker Bojan Krkic came on midway through the second half and also caused some problems for the local defence, although Spain ended the game with ten men after José Enrique picked up a second booking near the end.
