Ukrainian goalkeeper Ivanyak found himself under siege from the start of the match at Ljubljana's Arena Stozice, but it was nearly the 17th minute before Spain's Pola connected on a shot from 13 m to make it 1-0 on Tuesday, reports Efe.
The second half turned out to be largely a formality, with the overmatched Ukraine side struggling to generate any offense while La Roja continued to threaten Ivanyak's goal.
Spain will face Kazakhstan on Thursday in the semifinals.
Portugal clobbered Azerbaijan 8-1 in Tuesday's other quarterfinal.
