After the break Villa missed a near-post header but soon after powered Joan Capdevila's cross past Mohamed Kassid. Iraq rarely threatened the reigning European champions although early on, Alaa Abdul Zahra sent a low shot from the edge of the area straight at Spain keeper Iker Casillas. That was as close as the Asian champions came with Torres, Villa and Cazorla all going close for Spain in a one-sided first period Just before the break Joan Capdevila should also have done better with a close header while Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso tested the impressive Iraq keeper Kassid with a long-range drive.
