Vicente del Bosque's men left it late to beat Czech Republic after netting an 87th-minute winner and their midfield maestro felt victory was always coming
Andres Iniesta felt Spain won in their own inimitable way after Gerard Pique's last-gasp goal secured a 1-0 victory over Czech Republic.
Vicente del Bosque's side dominated proceedings as they began the defence of their European Championship crown with a dramatic triumph in Toulouse.
And Barcelona midfielder Iniesta sensed the match was following a familiar pattern.
"We've played games like this, we try to affect and influence until we get to a goal," the 32-year-old told Telecinco.
