Confederations Group A

South Africa and Iraq played out a dull 0-0 draw in Johannesburg on Sunday. The result neither wanted to start the tournament with but there was shades of South Africa that could put New Zealand under pressure. Iraq came into the game as underdogs but kept South Africa out. A few good chances for South Africa especially when Steven Pienaar came on. 

Spain made light-work of New Zealand in Rustenburg with a 5-0 rout. The All-Whites came into the game with no real big-name players but once Fernando Torres got his 1st the flood gate opened as the Liverpool striker completed his hat-trick with a fine goal. Francese Fábregas was also on target with a tap-in. David Villa made it 5-0 in the 2nd half when Boyens missed the ball and allowed the Valencia man into score.
