Spain march into quarter finals
Spain got the better of their neighbours Portugal through a solitary goal by David Villa on 63 minutes
The Spanish dominated the game for long stretches with their intricate passing a joy to watch. However Portugal also had their chances and could have scored on a few occasions but their star player Cristiano Ronaldo was very subdued.
Spain will now meet Paraguay in the quarter finals and are odds on favourite to land a semi final berth against either Netherlands or Brazil who play on Friday.
