Fernando Torres and Andrés Iniesta were on target as Spain dominated Bolivia for a 2-0 win on Friday in the first of two international friendlies before their World Cup defence in Brazil.
Torres calmly stroked a 51st-minute penalty, earned by Javi Martínez, down the middle as the goalkeeper, Romel Quiñoñez, dived right.
Spaincontrolled play at the Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium but found it hard to convert against a well-organised Bolivian team before Iniesta charged forward to curl a shot round Quiñoñez in the 84th minute to seal victory.
Vicente del Bosque employed an experimental team, trying out different combinations with key Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid players still missing following the Champions League final last week.

Alba deserve to be there... Pedros NT form is too gud for him to be benched...(with navas out not many players who can play in RW)
Attack is the concern.. Torres Half Fit Costa n Villaa
Llorente with 18 goals in 1st yr in Serie A doesnt have spot.. tVDB logic
Thiago will be a huge miss ..Isco shud have been picked up up instead of Santi/Mata he kind offers variety in MF ... current MF's are too homogeneous for my liking...
pedro 14 goals from 38 matches.... Negredo 10 from 21 for NT...
Btw, navas&alcantara injured aanalle?
sorry didnt include recent NT form.. Pedro was on fire for NT recent matches if am not wrong n system suits him more...
Ye Navas n Thiago injured
