  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Faycal Fajr made 399 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 14' Goal! Khalid Boutaib scores his 30 goal in 13 matches.
  • 19' What a strike from Isco! The score is 1-1.
  • 22' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Karim El Ahmadi.
  • 27' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

  • 31' Marouan da Costa is having his name booked by the referee on 31.
  • 36' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Spain needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 41' Diego Costa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 57 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Morocco that had 13 games and scored 14 goals.
  • 61' Morocco seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 63' The Morocco manager makes a substitution. Younes Belhanda departs to be replaced by Faycal Fajr.
  • 68' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 72' Morocco manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Youssef En-Nesyri is hanging Khalid Boutaib on the field on 72 minute.
  • 74' Time for substitution for Spain. Thiago Alcantara is replaced by Marco Asensio.
  • 79' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 81' Goal! Youssef En-Nesyri scores his 95 goal in 199 matches.
  • 84' The Spain manager makes a substitution. David Silva departs to be replaced by Rodrigo.
  • 85' The supporters are chanting for Aziz Bouhaddouz. He replaces Hakim Ziyech on 85 minute.
  • 88' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Munir Mohamedi.
  • 90' GOAL! Iago Aspas scores on 90. Assisted by Dani Carvajal
  • 90' It’s a booking for Morocco player. Achraf Hakimi gets a Yellow card.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-2.
