Spain won by chance - Del Bosque

The European champions can now qualify for Euro 2016
with a victory over Luxembourg next month, with Juan Mata's lob giving
them a 1-0 win over Macedonia on Tuesday

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque admits that his side won their Euro 2016 qualifier against Macedonia by chance on Tuesday.



The European champions stand one victory away from qualification for the
tournament in France next year, having followed victory over Slovakia
at the weekend with the 1-0 win in Skopje.



Juan Mata's fortunate lob bamboozled Tome Pacovski eight minutes into
the Group C clash, with Spain now able to qualify with a victory over
Luxembourg next month.



However, Del Bosque told reporters: "We have not played well, we won by chance.



"It's hard to explain but there was a great motivation for the first game and only a normal amount for the second.



"We have only scored the goal by chance. Once we got the goal we have stopped, we played slowly to feet and without any depth.



"We can not defend anyone, we played a little football but when it came
to coordinating the three main issues of football - defending, creating
and finishing - we have not done so."



David De Gea was preferred to Iker Casillas in goal - despite having
been dropped by Manchester United recently following speculation of a
move to Real Madrid that never materialised - and Del Bosque praised the
24-year-old.



"He is a mature guy and I had no fears that he would fail," Del Bosque added.
