Berlin (dpa) - RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo saved ex-world champion Spain from the next disappointment in the World Cup qualifying shortly before the end.

The 22-year-old scored from a long shot in the second minute of stoppage time for a 2-1 (0-1) win in Georgia.

After the 1-1 draw against Greece at the start, coach Luis Enrique's team have four points to their credit.

Only the winners of the ten groups will qualify directly for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

World champions France had already made amends in the afternoon with a 2-0 (2-0) in Kazakhstan for the botched start in the 1-1 draw against Ukraine.

The English national team took their second win in their second game with a 2-0 (1-0) win in Albania.

In the German group J, Armenia also celebrated its second success.

With the 2-0 (0-0) against Iceland, which had lost to the German national team in Duisburg on Thursday, the team of Spanish coach Joaquín Caparrós took over the championship lead, at least temporarily.

Denmark had no problems in Group F in the 8-0 (5-0) against Moldova.

In Tbilisi in front of several hundred spectators, Spain conceded the 0-1 through Chwicha Kwarazchelia (44th) shortly before half-time after an inattention in defense.

Ferrán Torres equalized after a good combination (56th).

The English struggled after the 5-0 opener against San Marino on Sunday evening - until star striker Harry Kane (39th) met for the lead in Tirana.

Mason Mount (63.) increased after the break.

For France, Ousmane Dembelé (19th minute) and Sergej Maliy (44th / own goal) scored the goals in Nur-Sultan.

Star striker Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germain missed the chance to make it 3-0 with a penalty in the 75th minute.
