Spanish striker, Fernando Torres became the first player to score two hat-tricks in the history of the Confederations Cup when he scored four goals against Tahiti on Thursday night.
Torres scored his first hat-trick against another Oceania representative, New Zealand back in 2009.
David Villa also picked up a hat-trick in the same game as the Spaniards tore the Tahitians apart. David Silva scored two beautiful goals in his own right. Juan Mata rounded off the scores.
Spain has six points from two games and look comfortable going into their final game against Nigeria. A loss against the Super Eagles and a win for Uruguay against Tahiti will see Nigeria, Uruguay and Spain finish on six points and the goal difference used to determine those that will progress to the semi-finals of the competition.
