Ticket punched: Spain defeats Luxembourg, qualifies for Euro 2016

There were never any doubts over whether or not Spain would qualify for Euro 2016, particularly as the competition marks the first time the European Championship will feature a record-high 24 national teams.

That said, "La Furia Roja" still had to do the dirty work.

In a qualifier that marked its 150th fixture pertaining to the European Championship, Spain sleepwalked to a 4-0 victory over Luxembourg on Friday and secured its place at Euro 2016.

The festive occasion was marred by a pair of early injuries, as David Silva limped off the pitch in the ninth minute with a reported sprained ankle ligament, while Alvaro Morata required a stretcher after suffering a reported "traumatic injury to his right calf muscle" on the half-hour mark.

It was all uphill from there, however.

Santi Cazorla tallied a brace that was sandwiched between another brace from Paco Alcacer, and Iker Casillas registered a clean sheet that left Spain with the second-longest run without conceding a competitive goal.

See you at Euro 2016, Spain.
