Good National Side trial ahead of the Confederations Cup. The physical state of the players after a long season was a major concern. Despite the heat and humidity, the team was fresh with fast transitions, support from the wings and pressure in the midfield, where by Javi Martinez put pressure on Haitians. Jesus Navas was very incisive on the wings, Mata and Cazorla electric inside and the sides, Azpilicueta and Monreal, had a strong attacking character.

Vicente del Bosque decided to play with a striker, Fernando Torres, Navas and Cazorla accompanying from the wings. In the seventh minute, it was precisely Santi Cazorla who opened the scoring with a left-footed shot from the edge of the area before Montrevil could do anything.

The second goal took a little longer. Cesc made it to a header past the keeper, thanks to a Mata's assist in the 18th minute.

Casillas did not overwork during the game but he showed up on the day and returned to play after four months without playing a competitive match.

The coach took for testing. At the start of the second half came into the match Reina in goal, Piqué in the center of defense and Silva who joined the midfield. For later were changes for Cesc and Torres by Iniesta and Soldado, as the Valencias’ striker hit twice the woodwork. A lack of twenty minutes, Xavi for Mata entered the team as the last substitution.

In the 75th minute, Guerrier got one in after a solo run.

The friendly against Haiti served to Torres and Ramos equalized with 102 caps to Raul Gonzalez and Iker Casillas became the most capped goalkeeper of European history.

The team will depart on Sunday at 22:30 (CET) to continue his training in New York.
