Spain stretched their unbeaten run to 20 matches when Iago Aspas’ late goal ensured a 1-0 win over a resolute Tunisian side in Krasnodar in their last World Cup warm-up match, less than a week to the football event in Russia. In only the second-ever meeting between the two teams, Coach Julen Lopetegui fielded a strong side which struggled for 84 minutes to break down fellow World Cup-bound Tunisia before substitute Aspas struck. The first meeting between the sides was 12 years ago at the group stage of the World Cup in Germany which the Europeans won 3-1 to qualify for the Round of 16.
