Northern Ireland’s only goal came from a set-piece converted by Daniel Ballard in the opening two minutes of the match.
Coach Luis de la Fuente utilized the second half to experiment with his lineup, making several substitutions that slightly reduced Spain’s attacking intensity.
Despite this, Mikel Oyarzabal added a fifth goal late on, bringing his tally to four goals in two games.
Spain’s Euro 2024 opener will be against Croatia on June 15.
