Substitute Fernando Llorente rescued Spain with an injury-time winner as they defeated Saudi Arabia 3-2 in their World Cup warm-up match at Innsbruck.
Osama Hawsawi gave Saudi Arabia a shock lead and although David Villa and Xabi Alonso scored to turn things around, Mohammed Al-Sahlawi's 74th-minute goal appeared to have denied the European champions.
However, Athletic Bilbao striker Llorente netted a minute into time added on to save the blushes of Vicente Del Bosque and his team - tipped by many to challenge strongly for glory in South Africa.
