THAT'S ALL FROM ME
Right, thanks very much for joining me this evening - if you missed any of the action (or even if you didn't), then here's my full report, including player ratings and player of the match
End of 2nd Half
90+3'
FULL-TIME: SPAIN 6-0 CYPRUS
One goal fewer than they managed against Georgia, but a far more dominant and controlling display by Spain. That was an exhibition in football. You feel sorry for Cyprus; what could they do? It wasn't as if they made a string of errors. They just got out played
90+2'
JOSELU SHOOTS OVER
A chance to make it seven for Joselu, stretching at the back post to try and convert Le Normand's flick on, but he's unable to convert
90+1'
CYPRUS SUB
Seems a slightly pointless one this, but they will make a change - Stelios Andreou off, Andreas Panayiotou on

INJURY TIME
Cyprus will have an additional two minutes of pain inflicted upon them
89'
THE STATS
Spain have had 26 shots compared to Cyprus' one, while they've enjoyed 81% of the possession. It's been men against boys
86'
A REMARKABLE WEEK
Spain have scored 13 goals - THIRTEEN - in just two games this international break!
83'
GOAL! SPAIN 6-0 CYPRUS (Ferran Torres)
And there's the sixth! Torres drifts in from the right, collects a delightful pass in his stride and then curls into the bottom corner past a motionless goalkeeper. Rodri with the pass, by the way, and what a pass
Goal
F. Torres
Spain
82'
RODRI SHOT SAVED
The midfielder tries his luck from fully 35-yards, but Mall gets down low to his right to save
81'
IS THERE MORE TO COME?
Remember Spain put seven past Georgia on Friday. They will be hungry for more
77'
GOAL! SPAIN 5-0 CYPRUS (Alex Baena)
How's that for an international debut? You have to feel for Mall, who makes an utterly sublime save to deny Joselu, but the ball bobbles out into the area and Baena fires home
Goal
A. Baena
Spain
76'
ALEX BAENA COMES ON
He replaces Gavi and makes his Spain debut

GOAL! SPAIN 4-0 CYPRUS (Ferran Torres)
The floodgates have opened! Carvajal is involved again, with his pull back finding substitute Torres, who calmly strokes into the back of the net.

72'
CYPRUS HAVE A SHOT
This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Cyprus have had a shot! They've got it on target too, but Tzionis' effort is straight at Unai Simon
70'
GOAL! SPAIN 3-0 CYPRUS (Joselu)
Oh that's wonderful. A whipped first-time cross by Dani Carvajal, finding Joselu near the six-yard line, and he flicks a header into the far corner with Mall motionless.
Goal
Joselu
Spain
68'
TORRES HEADS OVER
Two former Manchester City teammates link up as Rodri floats a deep cross to Torres, but he fails to find the target
65'
CAN SPAIN FIND A WAY THROUGH?
They've been kept much quieter in this second half, with the Cyprus defence somewhat more compact. That said, La Roja are still dominating the ball
62'
DOUBLE SUB FOR CYPRUS TOO
Kostas Pileas and Ioannis Pittas come on for Pieros Sotiriou and Charalampos Charalampous

DOUBLE SPAIN SUB

YAMAL SHOT SAVED
The winger exchanges a one-two on the edge of the area that ends in a shot being sent goalwards, but a deflection takes the sting out of the ball and Mall saves easily
