Soccer: Spain dominates in Wembley but England wins 1-0

World Champion Spain slumped to a fourth loss since winning the World Cup after Frank Lampard’s header lifted England to a disciplined 1-0 victory, despite being outplayed for most of Saturday’s friendly.
In his 90th international appearance, captain Lampard scored four minutes into the second half, meeting the loose ball after Darren Bent’s header came off the post.

“The fact England only got near the goal with that chance from the free kick did show we dominated the game,” Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said through a translator. “But I’m a bit disappointed, almost angry, that we didn’t manage to win. At key moments in the game perhaps we lacked a bit of speed.”
