David Villa extra time goal broke the hearts of Swedish team that fought and gave Spain all it could for 90 minutes. A long play played into the box, David Villa racing pass the defender who failed to clear the ball and back of the net it went.

This win gives Spain 6 points in Group B and pretty much leaves them in the clear depending on the result of the Russia-Greece game. Sweden laid out a great game plan but after a miss penalty call at the end Spain getting a last minute second half goal seems a just result.
