Nigeria 0-3 Spain: World Champions dumped wasteful Super Eagles out
Jordi Alba's brace and Torres fly nodding sends super Eagles out of Confederations Cup.
Alba opened the scoring in 8th minutes with a cool finishing from defensive error.
Super Eagles have all the opportunity to equalize and lead the game but they were very wasteful and foolish.
Fernando Torres came off the bench at the expense of Soldado to double Spain's lead with a superb fly nodding.
Spain's counter-attack gifted Jordi Alba the 3rd goal as he collected the long pass from center of the pitch to round Enyeama for the 3-0.

Nigeria VS Spain: June 13 1998 will hunt the world champion
Nigeria VS Spain: June 13 1998 will hunt the world champion
African champion and the World champion locks horn tonight by 20:00GMT and 21:00CAT in their last group-stage match.
Although, it would be fair to say that Spain has already qualified with 6 points and 11 goals agg. But an 11-0 win from Uruguay to Tahiti and a 5-0 loss to Nigeria could be fatal for spain, but hahaha! Would that ever happen?
Both side met on june 13th 1998 in World Cup in which Nigeria won 3-2 as a historic goals from Adepoju, Lawal and a power-bomb volley from Sunday Oliseh destroys Spain.
Nigeria will qualify if Uruaguay lose or draw with Tahiti, provided they win or draw spain.
A loss will be bye-bye for Super Eagles.
