Del Bosque happy but admits Spain lacked 'the last pass' against Ireland

Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque was satisfied with his side’s performance in their 2-0 win over the Republic of Ireland in New York, but thought they could have been more clinical in front of goal.

The European and world champions saw off Giovanni Trapattoni’s side thanks to second half goals by Roberto Soldado and Juan Mata in what was their final friendly before they head to the Confederations Cup in Brazil, which begins on Saturday.
