Ivory Coast 3-0 North Korea
Brazil 0-0 Portugal
Neither side really pressed for a win in what was a dull game
Switzerland 0-0 Honduras
Spain 2-1 Chile
Spain (a well as some of the other more illustrious teams) seem determined to do just enough to beat their opponents. Chile showed their combative side but Spain's class won through in the first half exemplified by a great move finished off by Iniesta to make it 2-0 at the break.
Chile's misfortune in losing Estrada to a red card that never should have been made Spain's task all the easier. The South American's went at them in the second half and got a goal back thanks to a fortunate deflection. The Spanish went into game-killing mode from then on and passed and passed and passed without really threatening. It was a hard task for the ten men of Chile who rarely got a counter attack together.
