Spain matched the feats of England and the Netherlands, qualifying for the 2010 World Cup with
two qualifying group matches to spare thanks to a workmanlike 3-0 defeat of Estonia in Merida.
The day after Spain learned its competition in the group stage of 2010 World Cup, La Liga continued
toward crowning the best club team in Spain. League leaders, Barcelona went to the West Coast and
beat Deportivo La Coruña 3-1 at the Riazor. The 2009 Balon D'Or winner Lionel Messi scored twice
and Ibrahimovic added his 10th of the season to keep Barca undefeated.
Tenerife 1 - 1 Atlético Madrid(1-0) 3' Nino, (1-1) 21' Jurado
- A poor match between two teams that are really struggling to escape the attentions of the
relegation zone. Atlético Madrid would have wanted to sign off before Christmas
with a much needed three points, but fell behind to an early Nino strike and only
managed to salvage a draw.
