Fernando Torres proved with a ‘Hat Trick’ in San Marino that he goes through a great moment of shape making goals. Five goals that the forward made in the last two matches from the qualification phase have been vital for the aspirations of Spain facing the Germany’s World Cup. The goal was to score more than four in order to avoid the play-offs in case of tie between Serbia and Bosnia, and Luis Aragones’ team carried out with their obligation, although finally the victory of the Serbian forces Spain to do a last scale in the trip to the World Cup.

Antonio Lopez just took a minute to open the score of a weak San Marino. The connection Torres - Reyes returned lethal in the second one: Torres received a center of the Sevillian, lowered the ball with an orientated chest control and with two strides he planted him self at the presence of Gasperoni, who couldn’t do anything to stop the crossed shot. Sergio Ramos signed the two following ones, a shot after a confusion in the area and a header of the Real Madrid’s player that put the 0-4 in the scoreboard of Serravalle's Olympic stadium. The following goal would come at minute 78, when Torres scored with quality a penalty that himself suffered. Finally the sixth one also was done by the young forward, a pure goal of '9', after shooting a splendid pass from Baraja at the first touch.

This 'Hat-Trick' from the forward puts end to a magic week when he signed five valuable goals for the interests of Spain, turning him into the maximum scorer of the national team into the qualification phase with six goals at his particular account.
