The goals of Carlos Soler (24) and Pablo Sarabia (75) allowed La Roja to snatch the group leadership from Portugal, which fell this Sunday in Switzerland 1-0.
In third place in the key are the Czechs, while Switzerland remains last in the group.
In a packed La Rosaleda stadium, with more than 30,000 spectators who carried their team on wings, Spain took revenge after the suffered 2-2 draw started in Prague a week ago.
La Roja, who had started suffering in the League of Nations, arrived at the match animated after their victory on Thursday in Swiss, with which he had once again entered the fight for the final four of the continental tournament.
The team led by Luis Enrique confirmed their good feelings, but began to suffer against a Czech team that started pressing very high, before falling behind with the Spanish goal.
Czech Republic warned with a shot Vaclav Cerny that forced Unai Simón (18) to stretch.
Just two minutes later, Jan Kutcha sped away harassed by Iñigo Martínez to plant himself in the Spanish area and take another shot that the Spanish goalkeeper took (20).
Simón once again supported his team in the most difficult moments, although he also caused a scare with a faulty pass that Jakub Pesek (32) failed to take advantage of.
Spain managed little by little to shake off the visiting pressure to become owner of the ball.
With long possessions, La Roja got closer, penetrating down the flanks, especially on the right, where Marco Asensio arrived dangerously.
The Real Madrid winger originated the Spanish goal with a center towards the area where Carlos Soler appeared to make it 1-0 (24).
Both were about to score the second in a play similar to the first goal, but Soler missed the one-on-one with goalkeeper Ales Mandous (28).
Spain, with the wind in their favour, took control of the match against a Czech Republic that took a step back, closing in and looking for opportunities on the counterattack and from long shots.
A shot from outside the area by Alex Krai forced Unai Simón (67) to shine.
The world champion in 2010 was able to increase his account in a shot from the young Gavi that Mandous stopped (63).
Gavi, the great Spanish sensation in this international window, had just replaced Soler (59) when he had his chance.
The young midfielder gave La Roja a point of intensity along with Ferran Torres, who had entered the field at the same time for a tired Álvaro Morata, who barely appeared in the match.
Gavi was at the origin of the second goal with a great pass to Dani Olmo, who extended it to the right for Ferran Torres, who put the ball at the far post for Sarabia (75), who had just entered the field to replace Marco Asensio (72).
With the score at 2-0, Luis Enrique moved the bench again to substitute Sergio Busquets for Koke (78) seeking control and contention for the last ten minutes.
From then on, Spain dedicated themselves to controlling and managing the ball to certify their victory and finish the international window as leader of their group.
