Honduras coach Reinaldo Rueda admitted the Spaniards were just a class above his side on Monday.
Spain won the game 2-0 to kickstart their World Cup campaign but the scoreline does not do justice to the Spaniards' sheer domination.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Rueda confessed: "Our plan was to upset Spain with our own game plan. However, David Villa's first goal was not what we needed."]
"I think we lacked conviction and commitment in our play. Spain are masters on the pitch and they have a number of very good individual players.
"We lost to a far superior side today. Spain have a number of players who can create something with just one move and that proved to be the difference."
Honduras have become the whipping boys of Group H - with Spain, Chile and Switzerland fighting out for the two last 16 spots up for grabs.
The central Americans play the Swiss in their final group game. Things could become incredibly tight if Spain were to beat Chile and Switzerland prevailed against Honduras.
In that case, all three teams would end up with six points with goal difference deciding which teams enter the knockouts.
Spain could yet rue the raft of missed chances against Honduras.
