Fabregas Quote Saudi Arabia 0-1 Spain
Date: 23-06-2006 19:53
Cesc FABREGAS: There were times when they made it difficult for us. We expected to play better, but the pitch was very dry and it wasn't the best time of the day to play. Nevertheless, we won and that's what counts. We don't mind who we get in the next round. All we want to do is show we can match the other teams and play our best football.
The match:
29': Two chances for Spain within a minute. First, Zaid saved from David Albelda after a delightful through-ball from Cesc Fabregas, then Joaquin went close with an 18-yard effort after a masterful solo run.
70': Spain coach Aragones sent on Xavi and Fernando Torres for Fabregas and Reyes. Paqueta also shuffled his pack with veteran Al Jaber taken off on his 163rd and final international appearance to be replaced by Malek Al Hawsawi.
