In a prestigious international friendly match, Equatorial Guinea faced Spain but lost 2-1 despite a spirited performance and strong support from the home crowd. Santi Cazorla opened the scoring for Spain in the 13th minute, taking advantage of a defense that was perceived as too passive.

The joy was short-lived as Juanfran restored Spain’s lead just before halftime, capitalizing on a mistake by Equatorial Guinea’s goalkeeper Danilo.
No further goals were scored in the second half, and the match concluded with a 2-1 victory for Spain. The game saw a notable injury-forced exit for Xabi Alonso.
