Oyarzabal Double Helps Slick Spain to 3-0 Friendly Win over Serbia

On Friday, striker Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice as Spain defeated Serbia 3-0 in a pre-World Cup friendly in Villarreal, with substitute Victor Munoz adding a third goal.
The Finalissima between Spain and Argentina in Qatar was cancelled due to war in the Middle East, prompting UEFA to relocate the friendly and reschedule it against Serbia instead.
Oyarzabal netted his opening goal in the 16th minute, then added a tremendous 20-metre strike before halftime; Munoz scored in the 72nd minute after a brilliant back-heel from Ferran Torres.
Spain solidifies its status as a leading World Cup title contender ahead of an upcoming friendly against Egypt in Barcelona on March 31.
In Group H of the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Spain will face Cape Verde on June 15, followed by Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.
