Porto Alegre (Brazil), June 15 (IANS/EFE) Colombian striker Carlos Bacca believes that Spain's aim to win against Chile is hard but not impossible after they were humiliated with a 1-5 defeat at the hands of the Netherlands in a World Cup Group B game Friday.
The 27-year-old Seville forward said that Spain have an uneasy mission of winning the last two matches of the group against Chile and Australia but added that it won't be impossible as they are the defending World Champions, reports EFE.
Bacca said that Netherlands are a great team and hence they were able to achieve that kind of a victory.
Spain, who currently lie at the bottom of Group B, will face Chile Wednesday at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
