Before the match against Switzerland, the lone Spaniards were almost the face of European football, but the defeat at the feet of the Swiss team made Spanish fans worried about their team.

The match against Honduras, for the Spaniards, was a battle of life and death. Victory, continue to maintain the hope of qualifying from the group, defeat, the new European Cup champion can only say goodbye to the World Cup in advance.

At half past eight o'clock in the evening of the 21st, at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, Spain ushered in Honduras, which lost by one goal in the first round.

After the start of the game, Spain launched an attack on Honduras with the strength of the central midfield. Unlike the slow pace of the first game, Spain started the game with a very fast pace and intensified pressing in midfield.

In the fourth minute, Capdevilla made a steal on the left side of the front field and passed back, and Xavi shot hard from the edge of the penalty area!

The football was blocked by the Honduran defender with his legs!

In the seventh minute, Alonso passed the ball from the left, and Villa fired a powerful shot from 25 meters from the goal!

The ball flew like a cannonball past the block of Honduran goalkeeper Valladares and towards the top left corner of the goal!

Just as the Spanish fans were ready to cheer, "Pong! ......" with a loud bang, the football hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line!

Spain missed a great chance to open the scoring.

Under the ferocious attack of the Spaniards, Honduras could only adopt a steady counter-attacking tactic and use long passes to create scoring opportunities.

In the sixteenth minute, Honduras counterattacked with a long pass, and Casillas struck in time to confiscate the ball before Suazzo. Casillas tossed the ball to Pique, who made a slight adjustment and played a long pass.

Villa won the ball on the left and forced a break between Mendoza and Cuevara!

Villa burst into the left side of the penalty area, shook Chavez and fired a powerful shot from 10 meters from goal!

Football hits the net!

1 to 0!

Villa, known as the "gourd baby" by Chinese fans, helped Spain open the scoring!

After taking a one-goal lead, Spain continued to put pressure on the Honduran goal with its strong strength, after all, a one-goal lead is not safe. However, Honduras defended tightly and the Spaniards failed to score again in the first half.

Just six minutes into the second half, Spain dealt a heavy blow to Honduras. Xavi played the ball down the right flank with a quick counter-attack, but Keylor Navas feinted a cross but sent the ball in front of the box. After taking the ball on the edge of the Villa penalty area, it is a powerful shot!

Football changes direction after playing central defender Chavez!

The anomaly happened, and the Honduran goalkeeper Valladares couldn't adjust his center of gravity at all, and could only watch the football roll into the net!

Two to zero!

Victory for the Spaniards is in sight!

In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Navas burst into the right side of the penalty area and was tripped by Izagure!

"Tick! ……”

The referee blew the whistle without hesitation. Firmly point to the penalty spot!

Penalty kick!

Villa walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms and was about to score a hat-trick. After the referee's whistle, Huluwa ran towards the football!

"Smack! ……”

The football flew towards the right side of the goal, and Honduran goalkeeper Valladares misjudged and could only pray that God was on their side!

A miracle happens!

The soccer ball rubs the right post and misses. Villa missed his chance to score a hat-trick!

However, this was not enough to save the Honduran side, who eventually lost 2-0 and completely lost their hopes of qualifying from the group.

With this victory, Spain regained the support of the fans and won the chance to qualify for the final battle of the group.

At this point, the second round of the group has been played, and a total of six teams have advanced to qualify, except for the team that has been eliminated after two consecutive defeats, the other teams will have to play a real life-and-death battle in the final round.

Victory. Enter the knockout round, lose, and end the quadrennial World Cup journey ahead of schedule.

After the second round, the third round starts right away, and to be fair, the two matches of the final round start at the same time.

At 4 p.m. local time on the 22nd, Uruguay faced Mexico at the Royal Bamfken Stadium in Rustenburg, and France faced the host South Africa team at the Bloemfontein Free State Stadium.

Although France and South Africa are in the bottom two of the group with one draw and one loss, they still have a chance of qualifying.

There was a scandal before the game against the French team. The players went on strike, and the initiator Anelka returned home early, causing an uproar in public opinion, and they once again replaced the England team as the focus of the media.

Of course, the most favorable ones are Uruguay and Mexico. They could have both come up if they had drawn, but both bosses had said before the game that they wouldn't do that.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the game on both venues started on time.

Uruguay and Mexico, as their coach said, did not play a tacit game, and Mexico attacked Uruguay as soon as the game began. It opened in less than a minute. Mexican defender Marquez fired a long-range shot from the hinterland that went wide of the goal.

Uruguay missed a great chance in the sixth minute, Héctor Moreno intercepted a mistake, and Suarez's one-handed diagonal shot from the right side of the box grazed the left post!

Mexico also almost scored in the 22nd minute, Guardado shot with his left foot from 30 meters away from the goal!

Soccer hits the crossbar!

The two sides then fell into a bitter battle, and just when people thought the two sides would shake hands in the first half, the wind and rain on the field changed at the end of the first half.

In the 43rd minute, Uruguay launched an attack on the right, Cavani crossed from the right, and the unguarded Suarez scored with a header from the edge of the small penalty area!

Uruguay ended the first half with a score of 1-0.

At the Bloemfontein Free State Stadium, hosts South Africa launched an attack on France amid the huge shouts of the home fans. In the 20th minute of the first half, Chabalala took a corner kick from the right side, Lloris attacked but couldn't reach the ball, Kumalo jumped high at the back point to beat Diaby, and smashed the header four meters in front of the goal!

1 to 0!

France was hit again in the 25th minute, Gourcuff elbowed Sibaya in the penalty area, and Colombian referee Luis directly showed a red card!

South Africa extended their advantage in the 37th minute, Chabalala crossed from the left, Diaby made a mistake in the penalty area, Masilella pumped the middle with his left foot on the left, Mfera grabbed the point and his left-footed shot was blocked by Klich, but he then pushed his right foot into the bottom right corner!

Two to zero!

Zidane, sitting in the stands, was expressionless, this French team is no longer the French team he was when he was four years ago......

At the end of the first half, Uruguay led Mexico 1-0. In the instant standings, South Africa and Mexico are tied on four points, with a goal difference of one and one respectively, and South Africa must try to score more goals in the second half to create a miracle.

In the sixth minute of the second half, the South African team almost extended the score, Chabalala left foot straight into the top of the penalty area, Mfera successfully countered offside, and pushed with his right foot nine meters in front of the goal!

The ball hits the right post and pops off the bottom line!

Thierry Henry then replaced Cisse and wore the captain's armband.

With Thierry Henry's arrival, the French team was no longer so passive, and the two sides were in a stalemate. At the moment, Mexico and Uruguay are still in a bitter battle on the other turf, and neither side has been able to change the score.

France have not scored in the first two games of this competition, they do not want to return to France with this shameful record, the second half is twenty-five minutes, Sagna assists to the middle of the front field with a left-footed direct pass, Ribery successfully counters offside, the right side of the penalty area faces the attacking Josephs cross, Malouda is eight meters in front of the goal with his right foot into the empty goal!

One to two!

France finally scored their first goal of the tournament, and what they didn't expect was their only goal of the tournament.

In the end, the French team lost 1-2, with two losses and one draw, and the runners-up of the last session went home in this way, very undignified. Despite a 1-0 defeat at the feet of Uruguay, Mexico still managed to finish second in their group by virtue of goal difference over hosts South Africa.

South Africa and France can only be eliminated! (To be continued.) )
