Spain were in no mood to be charitable, racking up a double-figure scoreline against the French Polynesian side to edge towards a spot in the last four.
World
Cup champion Spain routed the Pacific islanders from Tahiti 10-0 on
Thursday at the Confederations Cup - a result that wasn't as bad as
some had suggested beforehand.
Fernando
Torres, who missed a penalty late in the match, scored four goals.
David Villa added three goals, David Silva,
two and Juan Mata one.
Uruguayan Veteran Forlan smashes home winner gave Uruguay a 2 – 1 victory over a spirited Nigeria side.
The
Internacional forward proved decisive as he guided la Celeste to a
vital victory over the Super Eagles in his 100th appearance for the
national team.
Uruguay
picked
up a hugely important three points in Group B of the Confederations
Cup as they defeated Nigeria
2-1
at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador.
Forlan's
deflected cross was unintentionally dummied by Edinson Cavani at the
near post and an unmarked Lugano scuffed the ball into the back of
the net.
John
Obi Mikel equalised with a fine finish but in the second half Diego
Forlan marked his 100th cap for the national team with the winning
goal, as Stephen Keshi's men paid the price for failing to test
Fernando Muslera for much of the game.
Nigeria
will now have to win their final group match against World Champion
Spain or force a draw to book a place in the Semis as Uruguay is sure
to beat Tahiti but they must do so with more than 6 goals or better
the scoreline of Nigeria and Tahiti match to qualify. Nigeria
defeated Tahiti by 6 goals to 1.
World Champion Spain, Italy and Brazil have already qualified for the semi finals.
