In a friendly match against Macedonia in Macedonia's capital Skopje, Spain clawed back in the second half to get a win after going into half down 2-0 down.
Goals one after the other from Fernando Torres (min 52), Piqué (min 54) and Riera (min 56) brought the Spanish team back to looking like their European Champions status.
