Group H
Spain vs Ukraine in Leipzig:
Spain sped off to a blistering four-goal start during their 2006 World Cup opening game,
in Leipzig.
Spain vs Tunisia in Stuttgart:
Spain spent most of the game trailing to Jaouhar Mnari's 8th minute goal made the
scoreline look more respectable with an injury time penalty, that Torres slotted under the
goalkeeper.
Saudi Arabia vs Spain
in Kaiserslautern:
Spain had already qualified and a win would guarantee them top spot. They did that
effortless with the so-called reserves in their squad.
Knockout Stage
Second Round
Spain vs France in Hannover:
Spain looked liked they'd done enough to take the game into extra-time but Zinedine Zidane
