Unreal match, Spain getting hammered (10)
I believe the answer is:
phantasmic
'unreal' is the definition.
(like a phantom)
'match spain getting hammered' is the wordplay.
'getting hammered' indicates an anagram.
'match'+'spain'='matchspain'
'matchspain' with letters rearranged gives 'PHANTASMIC'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
