Spain missed a hatful of chances and had to settle for a 0-0 draw in their World Cup warm-up match against Russia in Albacete.
Coach Luis Aragones will be content with the display having played an experimental side and seen Russia finish the game defending desperately.
A large crowd turned out to see local-born pair Andres Iniesta, of Barcelona, and Pablo Ibanez, of Atletico Madrid, return to the city and while they saw an entertaining game, the goals proved elusive.
