Spain snatched a 2-2 draw against Morocco on Monday to qualify for the
World Cup last 16 and take top spot in Group B ahead of Portugal on
goals scored.
Morocco striker Khalid Boutaib gave the north
African side a shock early lead but Isco levelled, blasting high into
the net after a layoff from Andres Iniesta.
Morocco,
already eliminated, struck again in the 81st minute when substitute
Youssef En-Nesyri crashed in a header which looked set to inflict a
first defeat on Spain since Euro 2016.
But substitute Iago Aspas
levelled in stoppage-time after consultation from the video assistant
referee (VAR), putting Spain top ahead of Portugal, who were held to a
1-1 draw by Iran.
Spain will play Russia in the last 16.
