Spain and New Zealand set new records in the final day of the Confederations Cup Group A, even though the latter were eliminated. In Bloemfontein, Spain made sure they finished top of the group with maximum points and three clean sheets, as well a world record of 15 unbeaten games in a row. In the other match, New Zealand grabbed a historic 0-0 draw with Iraq to claim their first-ever point in a FIFA competition. Man of the day: Glen Moss The New Zealand goalkeeper had a superb night in Johannesburg, where he managed to clinch a rare clean sheet for his nation. The rookie guardian pulled off a number of saves to deny the Iraqis and send his manager into raptures after the match. Goal of the day: David Villa vs. South Africa A well-taken volley saw the EURO 2008 top scorer maintain his record of one goal per game to level with Fernando Torres on top of the scoring charts. Moreover, Villa's goal came after just one minute of his missed penalty to Bafana keeper Itumeleng Khune. Villa's goal Moment of the day: New Zealand celebrations It was ironic to see the team which finished bottom of the group in so much ecstacy after their draw with Iraq. Registering their first point and first clean sheet in nine Confederations Cup games was a huge feat to New Zealand's standrads. Quotes of the day "Our performance today was not so good, but we qualified. I am very happy today, happy for the country and happy for the players," said South Africa coach Joel Santana. "Tonight was another milestone for our country. The team were magnificent and we've proved the doubters wrong," said New Zealand boss Ricki Herbert. "I congratulate my team for their performance and efforts. They really gave it their all," Iraq coach Bora Milutinovic.
