Spain cruises past Peru in friendly
Mikel Oyarzabal's hot streak for Spain continued as he set it on its way to a 3-1 win over Peru in their final warm-up match ahead of the World Cup.
Pedri was also on the scoresheet, while a Pedro Gallese own goal helped to keep the two-goal cushion late on after Jairo Velez pulled one back.
It took Oyarzabal just 101 seconds to give Spain the lead at Estadio Cuauhtemoc. Pau Cubarsi slid a lovely through-ball into the forward, who profited from the slow-to-react defence by firing in a long-range effort from 25 yards.
Oyarzabal then saw a close-range volley balloon over the crossbar before he thought he had a tap-in from close range, but Fabio Gruber beat him to the cross, clearing the danger off the line via a deflection off Gallese.
Just after that, in the 32nd minute, Pedri got Spain's second, as he met Ferran Torres's cross after it cleared the outstretched hand of Gallese.
Adrian Ugarriza then hit the woodwork from inside the box shortly after, before heading over from a free-kick after the break, but Spain got their third eight minutes into the second half when Gallese inadvertently pushed Yeremy Pino's cross into his own net.
Velez pulled one back in the 66th minute, drawing David Raya off his line to turn in a cool finish over the line, but Peru could not mount more of a fightback as Spain finished on top.
