Ukraine must feel like they've been invited to a mugging. The first one was a poor goal to lose - bad marking and the keeper didn't look overly smart. The second goal was a wicked deflection that left Shovkovski without much of a hope.

Senna is solid in midfield while I don't think Alonso and Xavi have misplayed a pass yet. Garcia is doing what he does - flitting between midfiled and attack. Villa is a fire-plug up front.

Ukraine is seriously shell-shocked and need a quick break at the start of the second half if they are to get back into this one. They're tentative on the ball and can't match the Spanish speed and movement.

As expected there is no spot in the starting 11 for Raul.

This one is off at a cracking pace.

Spain draws first blood as the Ukrainian defense allows Alonso to stoop for a header from a corner. Poor goal to give-up. But this game  looks as if it could be a cracker. Apparently this is Alonso's first goal for Spain.

Jings - Spain two up. A free kick is given away just outside the box and David Villa's shot takes a wicked deflection off the wall and changes direction to beat Shovkovski.

Needless to say the Ukraine has a big job on their hands.
