Spain v Ukraine, 14 June 2006

Kick-Off: 15:00 Local (14:00 BST) Assistant referees: Francesco Buragina (Switzerland) Matthias Arnet (Switzerland) Fourth official: Roberto Rosetti (Italy) Fifth official: Cristiano Copelli (Italy) Man of the Match: Xavi (Spain) Spain produced a super display to outclass a Ukraine side that played most of the second half with 10 men. Xabi Alonso headed Spain in front from a Xavi corner and David Villa doubled the lead with a free-kick that deflected past Olexandr Shovkovskiy. Vladislav Vashchuk was sent off for pulling back Fernando Torres and Villa added a third goal from the penalty. Spain saved their best for last when Fernando Torres finished off a sublime move by drilling home. It was a harsh welcome to the finals for World Cup new boys Ukraine who struggled as the temperatures again hit the 30C mark as the German heat-wave continued. The only previous 'A' international meetings between Spain and Ukraine came in Qualifying Group Six for the Euro 2004 championships. Spain won 2-1 in Elche after a 2-2 draw in Kiev.
