In the second half , Mario Balotelli had hell of a chance when he stealed the ball from Sergio Ramos , but he took too much time infront of the goal and eventually leading to clearance by Ramos. As expected , Balotelli was soon replaced and the substitution paid off as Antonio di natalle , cruised on to a Pirlo through ball and find the back of the net quite comfortably. But Spain hit back immediately through Fabregas who finished with class and precision as he was played on by David Silva.
Spain had couple of late chances after Fabregas was replaced with Torres. But the Chelsea front man cudnt find the killer touch.
