ALBACETE, September 10 (World Cup qualifier) - Spain made it two World Cup

qualifying wins out of two with a comfortable victory over Armenia in Albacete.

Fresh from Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Bosnia-Herzegovina, Spain all but ended

this match as a contest after just 16 minutes following goals from Joan

Capdevila and David Villa.

Two late strikes from Villa and Marcos Senna then wrapped up the win as the

European champions made it 25 games without defeat and six in succession without

conceding a goal.

The Spanish quickly settled into their stride and it was no surprise to see

them open the scoring early on.

The hosts had already looked capable of breaking through a nervy Armenia

defence on a couple of occasions before Capdevila netted in the seventh minute.

A short corner routine between Barcelona duo Xavi and Andres Iniesta resulted

in the latter playing a superb through-ball to Capdevila, and the Villarreal

left-back thundered his shot past Roman Berezovski from seven yards out.

Even at that early stage it promised to be a long night for the Armenia number

one, and he was called into action four minutes later to keep out Villa's

long-range piledriver.

Villa was not to be denied in the 16th minute though as rampant Spain doubled

their lead.

Albacete-born Iniesta was his usual busy self and his marauding run into the

box earned Villa a shooting chance, the Valencia hitman coolly curling his 20th

international goal into the far corner of the net.

Armenia, who were only beaten 2-0 by Euro 2008 semi-finalists Turkey at the

weekend, must have feared the worst following those two early goals but they

settled into the game after that and Levon Pachajyan and Artur Voskanyan both

tried their luck with shots from the edge of the box.

Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas did not really have to break a sweat with either

of those, but Pachajyan made him earn his keep in the 26th minute with a low

shot.

Despite those efforts, Spain were still dominating and Villa should probably

have been celebrating a first-half hat-trick after going close three times in

quick succession.

An entertaining opening period continued to see chances at both ends, Voskanyan

going close for the visitors, while Dani Guiza was only denied Spain's third

goal by a fine Berezovski stop.

Opportunities were much harder to come by in the second half, with Iniesta

seeing one of the few early chances for Spain saved by Berezovski.

The European champions looked in cruise control though, and coach Vicente del

Bosque decided the time was right to give a debut to Barcelona teenager Bojan

Krkic, whose 68th-minute arrival was greeted by a resounding ovation from the

Carlos Belmonte crowd.

It was Villa who came closest to increasing Spain's lead though when, in the

74th minute, he rounded Berezovski but then agonisingly saw his shot hit the

near post.

Villa made no mistake four minutes later though as he slotted home Spain's

third goal following a slick pass from Xabi Alonso.

That was Villa's third goal in four days, having also netted the winner against

Bosnia-Herzegovina, but it was not the end of the scoring with Senna lashing in

a speculative 30-yarder in the closing stages to complete the rout.
