And the Spain national team double scored Ferran Torres, to be the first player to score a double against the Italian team in their own home since the double of Belarusian player Maxim Romachenko, in October 2004.

Italy’s only goal was scored by its young star, Pellegrini.

The victory of the Spaniards is a revenge for their loss on penalties to Italy in the semi-finals of the European Nations a few months ago.

Caps needed to score 11 goals for Spain:

◎ Fernando Torres – 31
◉ Ferran Torres – 21

And they both put one past a Gigi in the Italy goal. 👀 pic.twitter.com/G5lAzJXzl1
