Manuel “Nolito” Agudo and Alvaro Morata each scored twice as Spain routed South Korea 6-1 in a warmup game on Wednesday ahead of the European Championship.
David Silva and Cesc Fabregas also found the net and the defending champions had two more goals disallowed for offside as they showed remarkable efficiency in attack after being held 0-0 for the opening half hour.
Nolito has now scored four times in eight matches for Spain, while Morata repaid the faith of coach Vicente Del Bosque, who overlooked Chelsea forward Diego Costa for his Euro 2016 squad in favor of the Juventus striker.
Spain dominated possession from the start but struggled to create danger, and its sloppy passing in midfield even gave South Korea the first chance.
Midfielder Son Heung-min appeared alone in front of Iker Casillas but his overhasty attempt went wide.
Andres Iniesta had his 20-meter effort saved by keeper Kim Jin-hyeon, who also blocked a low diagonal shot by Hector Bellerin.
Silva broke the deadlock with a stunning 25-meter free kick in the 30th, and Fabregas doubled the lead just two minutes later after Kim failed to catch the ball in what appeared to be a harmless situation.
Nolito made it 3-0 in the 38th after wrongfooting the defense with a disguised move and directing the ball through Kim’s legs.
Morata scored from a corner taken by Thiago early in the second half, heading in just before Kim could punch the ball away. Nolito’s second put Spain 5-0 up after 54 minutes.
South Korea midfielder Ju Se-jong sent a deflected shot in the 83rd past debutant goalkeeper Sergio Rico, who replaced Casillas in the second half, before Morata netted again in the final minutes.
The game was played in Austria, where both teams were having a training camp.
Spain plays Georgia in Getafe on Tuesday in its final friendly before traveling to the tournament in France, where it is in Group D with Czech Republic, Turkey and Croatia.
Following its first match since March, South Korea has another friendly against a Euro 2016 contender coming up, taking on Czech Republic in Prague on Sunday.
