Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored in the 34th minute to level Sweden 1-1 with Spain before halftime but Villa's goal two minutes into stoppage time sent Sweden into disappointment.

"We had a deserved early lead," said Spain's manager Luis Aragones, "but then we lost our pace a bit and they came back to equalize."

"We tried out best in the second half and we made it. Normally six points has secured a last eight place so we might have some changes for the next match."

The Spaniards could have been left in deep regret as they squandered dozens of opportunities after the restart including a triple in the 65th minute.

Sweden's keeper Andreas Isaksson failed to hold David Silva's shot with the ball slipping to Villa, but recovered to parry the follow-up and Fernando Torres' third attempt was deflected wide off Daniel Andersson with Isaksson cuddling up in pain due to a clash with Villa.

Villa, who scored the first hat-trick of the tournament in their opening 4-1 victory over Russia, impressed again as the Valencia striker practically guarantee a quarterfinal berth to Spain.
