FanHouse FernandoTorres

If you just look quickly at Spain's 1-0 victory over Iraq Wednesday in Confederations Cup play, it might seem like a letdown after the European's champ's 5-0 crunching of New Zealand over the weekend.

Yet, when you're on the roll like the Spanish National Team has been on for the last three years, all the victories tend to blend into one. More importantly, Wednesday's win pushed the country one shy of matching Brazil's all-time unbeaten run of 35 games.

After weeks of frustration in front of goal, Fernando Torres finally got the goal that brought him glory.

In the 33rd minute, Torres ran after a through ball from Xavi Hernandez and managed to poke it over a diving Jens Lehmann, who turned to watch it roll slowly into the net. It was a well-deserved goal for Torres, who had countless opportunities in the previous four matches but couldn't convert. It also gave Spain a 1-0 win over Germany in the EURO 2008 Final and its first European Championship since 1964.
