Day 11

Switzerland took on Togo knowing that a win would put them on top of their group and started the game in attack mode and soon scored the all important opening goal. Though Togo were equally good on the field and had chances, they were just not able to finish their moves. In front of the goal, the Swiss showed better composure and soon put the game beyond doubt by scoring the second as well. The win puts them on top of Group G with a game in hand. Togo on the other hand, face France next but know they have to pack their bags after the game and head back home.
Togo 0-2 Switzerland
17-Frei(SUI),88-Barnetta(SUI)

Ukraine, smarting after their 4-0 defeat against the Spaniards, needed to put in a convincing performance if they had to follow Spain through to the next round and boy, did they do it in style. The Saudi's were just spectators for most of the game as the Ukrainians dominated completely and put 4 goals behind the hapless Saudi Keeper - who was at fault lotta times. Shevchenko scored the third and made his mark on the World stage, and though he bagged only one goal, he was in the heart of every Ukraine attack and was rightfully given a standing ovation when he was substituted late in the game. The final goal showed his team spirit as he unselfishly passed it on to Kalinichenko to finish it.A true captains performance indeed.
Saudi Arabia 0-4 Ukraine
4-Rusol(UKR), 36-Rebrov(UKR), 46-Shevchenko(UKR), 84-Kalinichenko(UKR)

After scoring 4-0 against the Ukrainians, the Spanish Armada were hoping for a similar win over Tunisia. Tunisia had the perfect start when Minari put the ahead in the 8th minute to silence the Spanish fans. But Tunisia failed to kill the game off with a second and were punished for it. Spain fought relentlessly and the equaliser came in the 72st minute from none other than Raul - who had come on at half time. This was the goal that the Spaniards needed. Four minutes later, the impressive Torres added a second and at the stroke of full time, all Tunisian hopes of a draw vanished as Torres completed a brace from the spot after he was brought down in the box by Yahia. Spain lead the Group and look set to cause some trouble for their opponents in the next round.
