Euro 2008 qualifier

Spain 2 - Denmark 1

Spain clocked up an important 2-1 victory over Denmark to keep on track for a place in next year's European finals. With only three points from their first three games, nothing but a win would do for Luis Aragonés's side. And they were given a helping hand with twenty minutes on the clock when Niclas Jensen was sent off for a second bookable offence.

A quarter of an hour later Morientes took advantage to run on to Iniesta's through ball, turn Agger and roll a shot under Sorensen. And with the first half coming to a close David Villa put his side two up after picking up David Silva's pass, leaving Gravaard for dead and shooting wide of the keeper.

The game appeared to be over, but immediately after the restart Daniel Jensen rattled the foot of the post with a long shot, and a couple of minutes later Gravgaard got above the defence to head Agger's long throw down past Casillas.

There were some nervous moments after that, but Spain had the three points they wanted, and now it's on to Mallorca for Wednesday's game against Iceland. (24.03.07)
