AMANDA DAVIES, CNN WORLD SPORT ANCHOR: Hi, I'm Amanda Davies with your CNN WORLD SPORT HEADLINES. It's been a busy night of World Cup qualifiers as the Road to Russia 2018, hots up. In the battle of the heavyweights, Italy produced a late goal to earn a draw against Spain and maintain their unbeaten World Cup qualifying record at home, and it looked as though Spain will going to get revenge for their defeat at Euro 2016 when Victor Vitolo took advantage of Gianluigi Buffon's mistake after 55 minutes, but Daniele De Rossi converted from the penalty spot to leave it 1-1. It wasn't the result Kosovo wanted in their first-ever home World Cup qualifier, having only been recognized as a country by FIFA in May this year, they hadn't managed to get their stadium up to standards in time. So actually played Croatia in Albania, but they were bluntly stuffed, 6- 0, it finished a first half hat trick from Croatia's Mario Mandzukic, finished Kosovo off even before they really got started. And a heads up, world football says -- underestimated the will to change within FIFA. Fantino told AFP TV that many at the organization were used to working in a certain way, and their will to change was quite superficial, not real. He's repeated his desire to expand the 2026 World Cup to 48 teams, but says the bidding process must be untainted by controversy. That's a look at your sports headlines, I'm Amanda Davies.
Road to the World Cup, Russia.
