ESP 1:0 POR - Spain dominated Portugal in Cape Town, keeping the bulk of possession and having the lion’s share of the better chances. Too much for Portugal to handle, Spain advance to the quarter-finals on a 63rd minute David Villa goal. Credit to Portuguese ‘keeper Eduardo for keeping 9 of Spain’s 10 chances out.
