Under 17 World Cup, quarter-final

Spain 5 - Portugal 2

Spain took their revenge on European champions Portugal with a 5-2 victory that takes them through to a semi-final with Argentina in Helsinki next Wednesday. For a few minutes it looked as if their neighbours were going to repeat last May's final when Curto headed them into the lead. But by half time Spain were ahead with strikes from Sergio Sánchez and Cesc Fábregas, and Xisco made it three five minutes in to the second half. Fábregas added a fourth ten minutes from the end, and although Vieira pulled one back, Jurado wrapped things up from the penalty spot in injury time. (24.08.03)
