Spain 2 -
USA 0
Spain beat the United States
in their last group game to finish in top spot and set up a quarter final tie
with Portugal. South Korea's victory earlier in the day against Sierra Leone
meant that both sides kicked off knowing they were sure of a place in the last
eight, and within ten minutes Juan Santiesteban's team went in front when
Jurado's shot deflected off a defender past keeper Westberg. Just before half
time Silva was shown the red card for retaliation, leaving his side with ten
men, but Cesc Fábregas scored a spectacular second goal after the break
to take his side through to the quarter final stage for the first time in six
years. (20.08.03) |
