Del Bosque pleased with forward progress in landmark game

Vicente del Bosque was able to celebrate his 100th game in charge of Spain, which moved a step closer to Euro 2016 qualification.

Spain battled its way to a 1-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win over Belarus on Sunday, enabling head coach Vicente del Bosque to celebrate his 100th game in charge.

During his reign, Del Bosque has guided the nation to World Cup glory in 2010, which was followed by a triumph in stunning style at the European Championship two years later.

Spain is bidding to win its third successive Euro title - after lifting the trophy under Luis Aragones in 2008 - and moved a step closer to qualification for the finals in France next year as David Silva's goal settled a scrappy affair in Borisov.
