Defending champions Spain are just one win away from securing their place in Euro 2012 when they tackle Liechtenstein in Logrono on Tuesday.
With three matches to play in Group I, Spain hold a five-point lead over the second-placed Czech Republic, who have only two games left, meaning a win against bottom side Liechtenstein would give the Spaniards an unassailable eight-point lead.
The reigning world and European champions had the ideal preparation for the fixture on Friday, when they came from 2-0 down at half-time in a friendly against Chile to claim a stirring 3-2 win.
Vicente del Bosque s side found themselves staring down the barrel of an upset defeat when goals to Mauricio Isla and Eduardo Vargas had Chile cruising.
But a goal from substitute Andres Iniesta and a brace from Cesc Fabregas completed a memorable comeback.
The game was marred by an ugly brawl in injury time, with all players becoming involved in a scuffle that resulted in Chile s Jorge Valdivia being sent off.
Iniesta said the brawl proved that Spain were a united outfit, after claims in Spanish media that the intense rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona had created divisions in the national team.
(The brawl) demonstrates that we are a team, Iniesta told Spanish newspaper Marca.
We faced an opponent who played very well in the first-half and who played at their best.
We reacted well. It is very difficult when two teams press (for the winner) because one will emerge victorious, it s all or nothing.
Spain will be heavy favourites ahead of the clash with Liechtenstein, which has a population of just 35,000.
The minnows are on the bottom of Group I on four points, scoring just three goals from their six matches so far and posting one win and a draw.
