It was tight, but in the end Spain retained their title at
the FIFA Futsal World Championship Chinese Taipei 2004. Two
second half goals by Kike and the outstanding Marcelo were
enough to hand Javier Lozano his second world crown.

To win a final you must first lose one," a smiling Spanish
coach said afterwards. "We lost one in 1996 and have now won
in 2000 and 2004. We were struggling in the first few games
but come the semi-final and the final and we are at our best.
We deserved it today - we showed how much we wanted it."

In the lead-up to the game, the coaches had tried a touch of
psychological warfare - Lozano and Nuccorini both claiming the
other team was the favourite for the title. It was possible to
make a case for either - proof indeed that the final was too
close to call. Spain as World Champions had the experience.
Italy, remember, hadn't even qualified for Guatemala 2000, but
had beaten their opponents in their previous two meetings - in
the 2003 European Championship semi-finals and in the second
round here in Chinese Taipei.

Italy kicked off, but it was their opponents who took the
initiative in the early stages - Orol and Javi Rodriguez
bringing comfortable saves from Alexandre Feller. In fact
for most of the first half Spain had control of the game,
their imperious teamwork pressing the Italians back towards
their own goal.

Marcelo and Salvatore Zaffiro were carrying out their own private
battle, but when Marcelo did get on the ball, he and Javi Rodriguez
were able to carve out dangerous openings. Kike almost scored twice
for the Spaniards inside thirty seconds - first Feller turned away
his volley from Orol's corner, then he hit the bar after the Italian
keeper had pushed away Orol's shot.

As the half wore on, Nuccorini's men at last began to gain a foothold.
Adriano Foglia cracked in a drive which Luis Amado tipped around the
post, Vinicius Bacaro's drive looked to arrowing into the corner before
Julio's intervention and Edgar Bertoni blasted a right foot shot which
Luis Amado did well to keep out.

The deadlock was broken just three minutes into the second half - Orol's
free-kick turned past Feller by Kike (1-0, 24'). Italy had to press
forward and Foglia began to get on the ball. Italy won a succession
of corners which they blasted mostly straight at Javi Rodriguez - one
particularly painful blow causing him to be substituted. But it was
Spain who scored again, doubling their lead with a goal of subtlety.
Andreu slipped the ball through to Marcelo inside the area. Flicking
the ball up with his left he created enough space to volley around
Feller (2-0, 30').

The Italians became increasingly desperate, first Feller began to
push into Spain's half, then they removed him and played Bacaro in
the keeper's jersey. Bertoni very nearly reduced the arrears sliding
the ball into the side-netting and himself into the far post from
Montovaneli's cross. With just 36 seconds to go, Sandro Zanetti
flicked in Bertoni's cross to set up a frantic finale (2-1, 40).
The Azzurri desperately tried to find a way past Luis Amado but
slowly the last seconds of the tournament ticked by. The Spanish
held out to prove themselves the world's best futsal team in 2004.

Italy coach Alessandro Nuccorini praised his players after the
game: "I wrote on the dressing room wall, 'You are fantastic,
you should be proud of yourselves. Thank you for everything'.
We played beautifully throughout the tournament, but today fatigue
caught up with us. Spain deserved to win they were the better team today."
