Fernando Torres helped Spain pick up where it left off at a major football tournament, and South Africa did little to show it would be a contender at this year's Confederations Cup.
The Spain striker scored three goals in the first 17 minutes to help the European champions rout New Zealand 5-0 on the opening day of the eight-team tournament. Host South Africa, however, was unlucky and had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Iraq in the opening match at Ellis Park.
