David Villa equalled Raul's Spain scoring record of 44 but the world and European champions had to withstand a Scotland rally before Fernando Llorente's late goal secured a 3-2 win in a Euro 2012 qualifier on Tuesday.
Villa's penalty gave the visitors a halftime lead at Hampden Park and Andres Iniesta scored a second just after the break.
Steven Naismith pulled one back for the Scots before the hour and Gerard Pique's own goal pulled the hosts level only for Llorente to score a late winner.
Spain are top of Group I with nine points from three matches. Next come the Czech Republic on six with Scotland and Lithuania on four. Liechtenstein are pointless.
