Having been sacked by Everton in the summer Roberto Martinez is now the new man in charge of the Red Devil's and his opposite number in his first game in charge was the former Porto boss Julen Lopetegui who has taken over as the boss of the two time world champions after Vincente Del Bosque's exit after the Euros.

Spain take the lead in the 32nd minute. Alvero Morata rounds Thibaut Courtois and his square pass eventually lands at the feet of David Silva who strokes the ball into the net to make it one-nil to the Spanish.

2 minutes after the break its nearly 2 but for an excellent save from the Chelsea shot stopper from Gerard Pique's header.

The visitors eventually double their advantage when Romalu Lukaku's younger brother Jordan trips Vitolo in the area shortly after the hour mark.

Silva steps up to take the resulting spot kick and sends Courtois the wrong way. Spain run out 2 nil winners and Belgium's fans show their displeasure at the final whistle by booing their team off the park.

Elsewhere, Greece made 2016 an even more miserable year for the Dutch by beating them 2-1. European champions Portugal eased past Gibraltar 5-0. Video assistants were used for the first time in an international when France defeated Italy 3-1.
