stadium, Extremadura. Spain won their world cup warm up game against Uzbekistan
with a good display of football, particularly in the second half when they
scored three goals. Juanlu gave them the lead in the first half from
Solabarrieta's cross, and Carlos García, one of five half time
substitutes, got on the end of a centre from his team mate Colominas to add the
second. The Espanyol defender scored in his own net a minute later after a
misunderstanding with his keeper, but Pina and Toche scored twice in the
closing minutes to wrap up the match. Uzbekistan will be one of Spain's group
opponents in the World Cup in the Emirates, although there are now doubts about
whether it will take place at all due to the current crisis in Iraq.
