Spain's first friendly match with the team that will fight for a third straight European title went quite well, and it started thanks to David Silva.
Manchester City's midfielder scored the go ahead goal against South Korea with an impressive 30-yard free kick, curling the ball just enough to beat the keeper's attempt to clear the ball, while hitting the crossbar and finally making its way to the back of the net.
The 30-year old scored his 24th goal for La Roja, good enough to make him the seventh all-time top scorer for the Spaniards. Curiously enough, this was Spain's first free kick goal in over four years, being Sergio Ramos the last player to score via a free kick.

The game ended with a 6-1 scoreline for La Roja, thanks to braces by Morata, Nolito and another goal by Cesc Fábregas. Spain will have one more friendly match prior to the start of the UEFA Euro 2016, when they face Georgia next week.
