Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas and Arsenal winger Santi Cazorla each scored a goal to give reigning World Cup champion Spain a 2-1 victory over Haiti on Saturday in an international football friendly. Cazorla, a midfielder earning his 53rd cap, blasted a left-footed shot from outside the top of the penalty area in the eighth minute to put the Spaniards ahead to stay and Fabregas followed with a header in the 19th minute.
The match also marked the return of Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas after not having played a competitive match for nearly five months. Casillas wore the captain's armband in his 114th cap before leaving at half-time. The 32-year-old Real Madrid goalkeeper suffered a hand injury in January that kept him out for two months and then failed to recover his place in the side for the rest of the season as Jose Mourinho kept Diego Lopez in place.
