[Confed Cup] Spain 2-0 South Africa

Group A - Matchday 3
SPAIN 2-0 SOUTH AFRICA
Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein
Spain set a world record of 15 consecutive international wins after beating South Africa 2-0 to reach the FIFA Confederations Cup semi-finals. South Africa also reached the last four and had chances but Teko Modise and Bernard Parker were too hurried. Itumeleng Khune saved David Villa's 51st-minute penalty, but a minute later the Valencia man scored. Villa's precise volley was too good for Khune and Fernando Llorente added a second from close range. Spain's win also ensured Vicente del Bosque's side equalled Brazil's all-time record of 35 matches unbeaten.


Spain: Reina, Puyol, Pique, Albiol, Arbeloa, Fabregas, Busquets, Xavi, Riera (Cazorla 81), Villa (Hernandez 59), Torres (Llorente 59).
South Africa: Khune, Masilela, Booth, Mokoena, Gaxa, Modise, Sibaya (Mashengo 83), Mhlongo, Pienaar, Dikgacoi, Parker.
