However, it was less about the number
of passes than the weight of the one which Andres Iniesta, winning his
100th cap, delivered inside left-back Jason Davidson to allow the
overlapping Juanfran to cross for Villa to backheel past Maty Ryan.
Villa
was replaced by Mata 10 minutes after half-time but his slow walk to
the touchline was of a disappointed man resigned to the passing of time
and not one milking the limelight one final time.
Upon
reaching the bench he sat with his head in his hands for several
moments - which in fact was an accurate representation of Spain's
experience in Brazil as a whole.
Rough and tumble: Australia's Mile Jedinak challenges Andres Iniesta
The 32-year-old, who has left
Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid to sign for New York City in
the Major Soccer League - although he will be sent on loan to sister
club Melbourne City in the interim - was making his first appearance of
the tournament and he was one of Spain's brightest performers.
With
captain Xavi injured and Iker Casillas dropped, meaning both have
certainly played in their last World Cup and probably final
international game too, Spain made seven changes in total.
That
allowed Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina, who spent last season on loan
at Napoli and is not wanted at Anfield, to make his World Cup debut nine
years after first appearance for the national side.
Basement boys: Ryan McGowan reacts after Torres scored Spain's second
He
was barely troubled as the tournament's lowest-ranked side - missing
suspended talisman Tim Cahill - failed to have any impact against the
nation ranked number one before it all kicked-off after three successive
major tournament triumphs.
But
with the defending champions knowing they were heading home even before
this encounter and many considering their long-term futures there was a
real lack of spark.
Midway
through the first half Villa sliced wide Iniesta's cross before his
clever backheel teed up left-back Jordi Alba to fire straight at the
goalkeeper.

That backheel was employed to
more devastating effect in the 36th minute when Iniesta sent right-back
Juanfran racing to the touchline and although his cut-back was slightly
behind the unmarked striker Villa diverted in the ball around his
standing leg.
Atletico
Madrid midfielder Koke, expected to be a key figure in Spain's future
rebuilding, had a low long-range drive tipped wide by Ryan but it was
one of the old-stagers unlocked the Socceroos defence again.
Iniesta's
through-ball split Australia's two centre-halves and Chelsea striker
Torres - the man who began Spain's gold rush with the winner in the
final of Euro 2008 - ran in from the left to slide home the second
before Mata converted from close range with eight minutes remaining.
