Villa sends Spain into quarters
Posted Wednesday, June 30, 2010 by PA
Spain's crusade to add the World Cup trophy to their Euro 2008 title continued with a closely-fought 1-0 win over 10-man Portugal.
Vicente Del Bosque's side dominated on the ball as usual but were frustrated for long periods by Portugal, who had decent chances of their own at Cape Town's Green Point Stadium. Spain's patience paid off, however, as David Villa's 63rd-minute goal secured victory.
They will now fancy themselves in a quarter-final clash with modest South Americans Paraguay while Portugal - who had Ricardo Costa dismissed in the final minute - face a disappointing trip home.
