The Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has warned his side to expect another tough game against Armenia on Wednesday after seeing them squeeze past battling Bosnia-Herzegovina. The European champions got their qualifying campaign off to a winning start in Murcia but were made to work hard, with David Villa netting the only goal of the game in the second half having earlier missed a penalty. Del Bosque said: "All our rivals look at us as what we are, as champions, and this leads them to take precautions and put lots of men back." Meanwhile, Antonio Di Natale scored twice, including a last-minute winner, as Italy started the defence of their World Cup crown on with a lucky 2-1 win over Cyprus. The coach Marcello Lippi said: "Cyprus were unlucky on a number of occasions and at times I had the feeling we were going to lose. It was a great relief to win."
