Why the reaction is spontaneous once methanol


Methanol is burned as fuel, this makes it clear that the reaction is spontaneous once methanol is ignited. yet the entropy change for the reaction 2CH3OH(l) + 3)2(g)---2CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) is negative. Why doesn't this violate the second law of thermodynamics?
