Spain 4 - 0 Ukraine

One sided affair with Ukraine clearly second best. The referee got it all wrong, that wasn't a penalty and red card as there was clearly no contact. I don't know how much of an effect did the penalty and sending off had on Ukraine as they showed some promise in the opening seconds of the second half only for it to be halted by the sending off and subsequent goal.

Spain looks great and I'm expecting them to go far in the tournament. Ukraine won't be happy with their performance but they will probably still favour their chances to advance to the knock out stages with matches against Saudi Arabia and Tunisia, especially after the two teams drew. However, Ukraine will certainly have to improve on today's performance if they want to advance further than the second round.
