Andres Iniesta: 'Spain won't forget Netherlands defeat'

By , Reporter |
Andres Iniesta says that Spain will not forget about the manner of their defeat against the Netherlands in their opening World Cup match.

Andres Iniesta has said that Spain will not forget about the manner of their defeat against the Netherlands in their opening World Cup match.

The current holders got their title defence off to a losing start as they suffered a shock 5-1 defeat in Salvador.

They will face Chile and Australia in their remaining Group B fixtures, and Iniesta has admitted that there is no room for any more mistakes.

"We have to win the two games that are left," he told reporters. "There are small details that tip the balance. But it was difficult for us.

"We are prepared for whatever comes. We'll do our work, but we won't forget about this."

Spain suffered their worst defeat since losing 6-2 to Scotland in June 1963.
