Spain defeated Armenia 4-0 in Albacete to make it two wins from two in their quest to reach the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals. David Villa scored a goal in each half while Joan Capdevila and Marcos Senna also found the net to ensure a successful start to qualifying for new coach Vicente del Bosque.

Early goals
The Spanish coach made two changes to the side that beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0 four days earlier with Cesc Fàbregas and Diego Capel losing out to Santi Cazorla and Dani Güiza. After just seven minutes the home side took the lead when local favourite Andrés Iniesta slid a pass in for Capdevila who stayed onside before smashing a shot from eight metres past Roman Berezovski in the Armenia goal. Just nine minutes later the European champions had a second when David found space in the area before shooting into the corner of the net.

Spirited comeback
Far from collapsing, the visitors, who lost 2-0 at home to Turkey on Saturday, began to get forward and created some chances of their own. In the space of five minutes, Levon Pachajyan twice glimpsed goal. After prodding one effort wide of Iker Casillas's near post after some fine build-up play by Artavazd Karamyan, the 2007 Armenian Player of the Year then drew a right-footed stop from the Spain goalkeeper.

Further chances
Villa should have made it 3-0 as the half progressed but 'El Guaje' headed Sergio Ramos's superb centre wide then moments later the Valencia CF forward had another attempt parried away by Berezovski. Del Bosque had described Armenia as "fiery and quick on the counter" and they continued to prove so. Ten minutes before the break Artur Voskanyan fizzed an effort just over from the edge of the area, then moments later Agvan Mkrtchyan crept through before firing straight at Casillas.

Game over
Fewer opportunities for either side in the second half meant the loudest cheer inside the Carlos Belmonte stadium prior to Spain's final two goals came with the introduction of Bojan Krki? to make his senior international debut. Villa scored Spain's third from Xabi Alonso's clever pass with eleven minutes to go before Marcos Senna wrapped things up with a wonderful blast from distance, his first goal in a Spanish shirt. ©uefa.com 1998-2008.
