This was a good test for the Spaniards. After their cakewalk against Ukraine, they found themselves down an early goal to Tunisia. Impressively, Spain never got frantic. Even when the game entered the final 20 minutes, and the Spaniards' dominance had yet to translate into an equalizing goal, they didn't panic and start smashing long balls into the box. They continued to knock the ball around, confident that their superior quality would eventually win out.
And it did, in a big way. Spain got three goals in the final 15 minutes, with important contributions from substitutes Raul and Cesc Fabregas. It was a well deserved win, which puts them in the pole position for first place in Group H. The only problem the Spanish have is deciding who among their surplus of talented attacking options gets the start in their next game.
Goal scorers:
Jaouhar Mnari (8'), Tunisia (1-0)
Raul (72'), Spain (1-1)
Fernando Torres (76'), Spain (2-1)
Torres (90' pen), Spain (3-1)
