Tehnical problems
The Spanish performance was beset by technical problems. First the backing track failed to play, then it started too early. The delegation ' s conductor completely lost control and the Spanish duo, Azúcar Moreno, left the stage. The second attempt was successful and the duo ended up in fifth place.
