Saturdays 5-0 thrashing of Belgium means the European champions are sitting pretty at the top of Group 5, with maximum points from their seven matches, and a six point advantage over Bosnia-Herzegovina.Braces from Valencia duo David Villa and David Silva, with Gerard Pique also on the score sheet, kept Spains hundred percent record in qualifying untarnished.Vicente del Bosque sent out a very strong side, although Barcelona prodigy Sergio Busquets did get the nod ahead of Cesc Fabregas. And the home sides impre sive start left Belgium with no response. The front pairing of David Villa and Fernando Torres, which brought so much succe s as Spain conquered Europe last year, also began promisingly.Villa had numerous chances to open the scoring early on, with his best chance being denied by a superb reflex save from Guillaume Gillet. Liverpools Torres also came close, as his shot skimmed past the post. La Furia Roja were granted an excellent opportunity to take an inevitable lead, when Anthony Vanden Borre blocked off Villas route Jay Bouwmeester Kids Jersey inside the penalty area. The Valencia man took the spot kick himself, but hit his shot straight down the centre, and this always gave Gillet a chance to keep it out, which he took.Belgium still offered little in response, although the longer the game drew on, the more frustrated Spain would grow. And luck was still not on their side, as Torres hit the woodwork again; his deflected shot banging against the post.David Silva did, however, ensure the Spaniards went into the interval ahead.

Villa was once again involved, as he cut the ball back to Gerard Pique, who had continued an impre sive run from the defence; before pa sing the ball past Gillet.Spain had put the game out of the reach of their opponents, and demonstrated some of the mesmerising keep-ball they have become so renowned for. They were making the Belgian players chase the ball. Although they may not have been desperate for another goal, the group leaders still managed to find one. Silva drilled the ball into the back of the net Nikita Alexandrov Women Jersey from an almost identical position to Villas goal, but on the right.Cesc Fabregas did eventually get his chance off the bench, being brought on after 70 minutes. And del Bosque almost reaped the immediate rewards. The Arsenal man released an impre sive strike from some way out, which Gillet did well to keep out.Fabregas did make his presence known, however, towards the end of the match. He was played into acres of space; after Xabi Alonsos pa s cut the Belgian defence apart; before unselfishly playing the ball square for Villa to grab his second with a simple finish.Fifth goal capped a great performanceSo Spain go into their final three matches on the road to South Africa, knowing that a win against Estonia on Wednesday would all but guarantee progre sion. youtube:http://youtube.com/watch?v=kg_AOgsErKg
