Another an unconvincing performance from the Spanish side and again a David Villa goal to bail them out. The match saw not many chances with both sides getting a chance to go ahead from the spot but both teams missed their opportunity.
It was the 59th minute when Paraguay were awarded a penalty. Cardozo stepped up but failed to score
Then soon after, Spain won themselves a spot kick. Xabi Alonso stepped up and converted it, only for the referee to disallow the goal and make Alonso retake the kick. In his second attempt, though, Xabi couldn't score
Then in the 83rd minute the deadlock was finally broken when David Villa scored the only goal of the game
