Spain are through to the
last eight after beating North Korea 3-0 on a rainy day in Ulsan. Once again
Bojan Krkic was the man who did the damage, the Barcelona striker going close a
couple of times before opening the scoring midway through the first half with a
shot inside the post. And Bojan added a second with an angled strike soon after
the restart to make it four goals in all in the competition. A few minutes
later his Barça team mate Iago Falqué wrapped things up after
picking up an assist from Isma, and the players dedicated the victory to
Sevilla's Antonio Puerta, who tragically died the day before. Juan
Santiesteban's side play France in the quarter finals on Saturday.
