A Juraj Kucka goal gives Slovakia a shock 1-0 lead over Spain in their Euro 2016 qualifier at the Stadion MSK Zilina this evening.

Slovakia are currently leading Spain 1-0 in their Euro 2016 qualifier at the Stadion MSK Zilina this evening.

The visitors dominated possession in the opening stages, but the first chance on goal fell to the hosts in the 12th minute.

Robert Mak struck an effort towards the bottom corner at the first time of asking after being set up by Peter Pekarik, but Iker Casillas pulled off a strong save.

Just two minutes later, Diego Costa came close to opening his account for La Roja with a header that flew just wide.

In the 18th minute, Slovakia unexpectedly took the lead, as a Juraj Kucka free kick that should have been saved by Casillas instead found its way into the net.

Spain struggled to pull themselves back into the game, with frustration getting the better of them as they kept being thwarted in the final third.

In injury time, Slovakia goalkeeper Matus Kozacik was forced to save twice in quick succession, denying Costa and then Sergio Busquets from close range.
