David Villa strike knocks Portugal out of the FIFA World Cup 2010
Portugal have been knocked out of the the 2010 FIFA World Cup after a kick from David Villa hit the back of the net. With both teams locked in at 0-0 at half time, Spain were on the attack in the second half with numerous shots at the goal. However things changed in the 63rd minute when Villa put the ball past Portugal goalkeeper Eduardo.
Although both teams showed plenty of intensity, Spain looked the better side throughout the match. They were on the ball early with Fernando Torres testing Eduardo in the very first minute. Spain also dominated posession of the ball and made sure Eduardo was on the guard with many strikes towards the goal.
Portugal also had their chances, a cross from Raul Meireles was missed by Almeida missed in the 39th minute, while Almeidas cross early in the second half was also missed.
Spain now meet Paraguay – who beat Japan earlier today- in the quarter finals in three days time, while Portugal pack their bags and return home.
