Spain top Group B after holding Morocco to 2-2 draw in FIFA World Cup

Following a dramatic late equaliser goal, Spain drew with Morocco 2-2 in their Monday’s Group B clash of FIFA World Cup 2018 at Kaliningrad Stadium. Spain, who top the group now, will face hosts Russia in the last 16. Portugal too, in the other Group B match, held Iran to a 1-1 draw and are set to meet Uruguay next.

Substitute Iago Aspas scored in stoppage-time to earn Spain a dramatic 2-2 draw with Morocco which gave them top spot in World Cup Group B and a place in the last 16. With Morocco heading towards their first win of the tournament, Iago Aspas delivered the late heroics when he back-heeled the ball into the net to cancel out Youssef En-Nesyri’s brilliant 81st-minute header for Morocco. The Spanish goal was awarded after a lengthy review by the Video Assistant Referee.
