Spain defeat Sweden | Villa scores a last minute goal!

Earlier in the match Star players of both teams Zlatan Ibhrahimovic and Fernando Torres scored ad the match was equally poised.
Torres, rumored to be unhappy with his early substitution in Spain’s 4-1 opening win over Russia, touched a diagonal pass into the area intended for Capdevila and Isaksson couldn’t stop the deflection.
On his goal, Ibrahimovic initially tried to volley Stoor’s cross from the right side. He regained control, swerved and scored with a low right-footed shot that Casillas got a hand on.
Spain were not given a penalty in the end of the second half but they wouldnt complain now as they won the match anyway.

“Back in 2004, a miracle happened, but that happens maybe every 30 years,” said their German coach Otto Rehhagel. “Otherwise, if it happened every week, it wouldn’t be a miracle.”
The Greeks needed at least a draw to stay in contention in Group D, but Konstantin Zyryanov’s 33rd-minute goal, combined with Spain’s 2-1 win over Sweden, left the surprise 2004 champions with nothing to play for in their third and final match. The result also put Spain into the European Championship quarterfinals.
Zyryanov’s third international goal in 14 appearances came after Sergei Semak acrobatically sent a pass back across the net, with goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis chasing the loose ball.

“They showed tonight that they know what a high-level, high-standard football is,” Russia coach Guus Hiddink said about his players, who lost to Spain 4-1 in their opener. “I’m very happy they reacted very fast.”
