JAKARTA - Spain's Dani Olmo scored a stunning goal in stoppage time to give Spain a 2-1 win over Albania in Saturday's friendly on March 26 local time in front of an excited crowd in Spain's first match in Catalonia in 18 years.

Under the roar of a near-crowded Cornella-El Prat Stadium, last year's Euro semi-finalists dominated from the start but had to wait until the 75th minute to open the scoring when Ferran Torres fired home from close range following substitute Yeremy's pass.

But minutes later Myrto Uzuni equalized from Albania's only shot on target that bounced off Eric Garcia's face.

Quoted by Reuters, when the match seemed to be ending in a draw, Olmo got a short pass from Jordi Alba. He then curled a shot into the top corner of the Albanis goal from the edge of the box.

Spain next faces Iceland in A Coruna next Tuesday as they prepare for this year's World Cup in Qatar to be played in November and December.
