Friendly international: Spain 1 - Japan 0

An injury time goal from Baraja saved Spain's blushes against a well ordered and enthusiastic Japan side. Having defeated France in their last friendly Spain were expected to win this game fairly easily. However Japan put up a good fight and were unlucky to lose in the end. Camacho gave first caps to Téllez and José Mari in the second half. See match report (25.04.01)
