David Villa scored two goals as Spain got its World Cup back on track with a 2-0 victory that eliminated Honduras.
Villa beat three defenders in the 17th minute for the opener as goalkeeper Noel Valladares got a touch to the Spain strikerÕs rising shot but not enough to keep it out.
Villa scored his 40th goal in the 51st when his shot from the edge of the area deflected off a defender to go over Valladares.
Villa missed a penalty in the 62nd at Ellis Park Monday.
Spain has three points and can still win Group H with a victory over Chile, which earlier beat Switzerland 1-0 to lead with six points. Switzerland has three points and Honduras has zero ahead of their match.
