Spain’s second goal was another stunning exhibition of skill, vision and explosive running. A move that started with Casillas continued when Alba played into Xavi but it was the timing of the run, a run that took Alba beyond four blue shirts, and the timing of the pass from Xavi, not to mention the left-foot finish, that were just fantastic. So fantastic that the expression on Gianluigi Buffon’s face was one of pure amazement.
