Confederations Cup preview: Spain – South Africa

Spain are already through to the semi finals of the Confederations Cup, but South Africa still have everything left to play for as the hosts want to avoid an early elimination.

The Spanish know that this match against South Africa doesn’t matter that much, when it’s about this tournament. However, Vicente del Bosque and his players will realize that a win would mean a new record, one of 15 victories in a row. A unique chance that Spain might not want to miss out on.

South Africa need a draw to secure a spot in the semi’s. In case of defeat, the hosts need for Iraq to lose to or draw with New Zealand. If South Africa lose and Iraq win, goal records will decide which team joins the best four of this tournament.

These two teams met only once before, with Spain beating the South Africans 3-2 at the 2002 World Cup in Asia.

The match is set to start at 8:30pm local time with Bloemfontein’s Free State Stadium as venue.
