Spain cruises past Peru 3-1 in final World Cup warmup, injury-free

On the eve of a World Cup, a nation does not merely seek victory in its final rehearsal — it seeks confirmation. In Puebla, Mexico, Spain found both: a 3-1 win over Peru that answered tactical questions, preserved bodies, and restored the quiet confidence that a draw against Iraq had briefly unsettled. With their preferred lineup tested and no new injuries to mourn, Luis de la Fuente's side now turns toward Cape Verde and the tournament proper, carrying the particular calm of a team that knows, more or less, who it is.
