El Chicharito Hernandez is on a tear – latching onto Andres Guardado’s pass, he raced towards goal and bent the ball past Casillas in a clinical finish. He’s struck a purple patch – a goal in every match since his big time Man Utd transfer.
It was left to David Silva, newly of Man City set up by none another than Xavi to restore parity for the World Cup late in the game for the World Cup champions. Spain as expected dominated possession and came close to pulling off a win despite their players looking short of match fitness after their vacation time.
