After a few stormy days, Gerrard Pique opened the squad, was scorned by the Spanish fans with every touch of the ball and also received a yellow card that would make him miss the game against Israel, from which David Silva will also be absent for the same reason. Rodrigo, Isco and Theigo celebrated at the expense of the Albanians, and the World Cup ticket was achieved with the help of Italy.

The Serbs still led from Luka Milujevic's goal, but Guido Borgesztaler and Marco Arnautovic became the second, Nemanja Matich equalized (83) and Luis Schaub arranged a dramatic victory for the Austrians. Despite the loss, Serbia is still the first and depends on itself when it has 18 points and it will meet Georgia in the final round.
