Portugal's impressive victory - their goals coming from Carlos Martins, an own goal by Sergi Ramos, Helder Postiga and Hugo Almeida - was hardly recompense for their 1-0 defeat by Spain in the second round clash at the World Cup but it was welcome nevertheless.
Spanish coach Vicente del Bosque will be concerned that a defence that barely put a foot wrong at the finals has leaked goals alarmingly since then including two in a Euro 2012 qualifier against a hardly feared Scottish side.
Del Bosque accepted that his side had deserved to be well beaten.
"We were inferior," said the former Real Madrid handler.
"We have no excuses. We allowed them too much space. We could not have played worse.
"They felt at ease and really hurt us on the counter-attack."
