MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Santiago Cazorla and Cesc Fabregas scored early goals as World Cup champion Spain beat Haiti 2-1 in an exhibition Saturday.

Spain struck quickly on Cazorla’s goal seven minutes into the match. Cazorla dribbled toward his left and converted on a 20-yard shot that landed inside the right pots.

Fabregas’s goal in the 18th minute increased Spain’s lead to 2-0. Juan Mata’s pass found Fabregas five yards inside large area, where Fabregas beat Haiti goalkeeper Frandy Montrevil with a header.

Haiti got on the scoreboard on Donald Wilde’s goal in the 77th. Wilde dribbled through the Spanish backline deep into the left wing of the penalty area. Goalkeeper Pepe Reina attempted to cut Wilde’s angle but Wilde beat him with a shot that landed inside the far post.
