Spain take on USA in semifinal

The first finalist of the Confederations Cup in South Africa will be decided today when European champions Spain take on the United States in semi-final one.



Spain are going for another record. They will look to surpass Brazil’s record of 35-match unbeaten run from 1993 to 1996 by reaching Sunday’s final.



Spain haven’t lost a game since November 2006 and are heavily favored to beat the United States, who scraped through to the semi-final.



Brazil, looking to win their second consecutive Confederations Cup title, will face hosts South Africa in the other semi-final match slated for tomorrow at Ellis Park.
