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 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.

Spain vs Morocco: Live World Cup score, goals and highlights from Group B decider SPAIN 2-2 MOROCCO FT: Good grief. I don’t know how Spain have managed it, but they have topped the group. Remarkable night that I fear will be remembered more for VAR controversy than the football. 94: Well, that late flurry of activity means that Spain will top Group B. And that means they will play hosts Russia in Moscow in the last 16. 92: And now Iran have equalised! It’s never a penalty in a million years but the referee checks VAR and awards it. Ansarifard the scorer. SPAIN 2-2 MOROCCO - ASPAS 90: Goal! Wait, is it? Iago Aspas nets but the referee has ruled it out for offside. It’s going to VAR… The goal stands! Morocco are livid with the decision and crowd the referee. 87: Constant Spain pressure but they’ve not created anything clear-cut. 85: A couple of changes, but It’ll take something for Spain to avoid Uruguay now. They need Iran to equalise and a late goal here. Rodrigo on for Silva. And for Morocco, Ziyech replaced by Bouhaddouz. Spain vs Morocco: Live World Cup score, goals and highlights from Group B decider SPAIN 1-2 MOROCCO - EL NESYRI 81: THIS. IS. NOT. A. DRILL. Spain, who haven’t lost in 22 matches, are behind to an absolute stonker of a header from En Nesyri. There’s a glimmer of hope for Iran in the other match because they need to equalise and Morocco need to score again to qualify. 76: You wouldn’t have guessed Morocco had nothing to play for. They are fighting for everything tonight and won’t give Spain a minute’s peace. 73: Iago Aspas replaces Diego Costa, who’s just not been able to stamp his mark on this game. 70: Spain are asking questions, but Morocco still have all the answers. Spain vs Morocco: Live World Cup score, goals and highlights from Group B decider Spain vs Morocco: Live World Cup score, goals and highlights from Group B decider 66: Isco and Silva exchange a few passes but the Manchester City legend is tackled before he can pull the trigger. 63: Isco nearly doubles his tally when heading Busquets’ cross towards the back post but Wolves defender Saiss clears. 59: Still no signs of panic from Spain. They are happy to stretch Morocco and wait for their moment. 55: Wow. Nordin Amrabat has just nearly scored the goal of this or any other tournament. His 30-yard strike starts about five feet wide of the post before curling against the woodwork. 52: Close! Boussoufa pokes Amrabat's cross towards goal but David de Gea just tips it away. 50: Not a huge amount of drama happening here, but there’s plenty going on in the Portugal clash. Cristiano Ronaldo wins a penalty for Portugal after a helpful VAR check. He steps up and smashes it straight at the Iran goalkeeper. It remains 1-0. 45: And we’re back underway. No changes for either side. Incidentally, if Spain score another they will top the group on their disciplinary record. Big incentive. Spain vs Morocco: Live World Cup score, goals and highlights from Group B decider SPAIN 1-1 MOROCCO HT: Bad news for Spain on the stroke of half-time as Portugal take the lead through a Ricardo Quaresma cracker. It’s 1-0 at the break. As it stands, Spain are heading for a last 16 clash with Uruguay. 45: Close! Diego Costa stretches to meet Iniesta’s cross across the six-yard box but he’s poked it wide. 42: Morocco are fraying Spain nerves with their robust challenges now. Perhaps a plan to get Diego Costa sent off? 39: Close! Busquets simply has to stick that away. The midfielder is totally unmarked about six-yards from goal and nods Isco’s corner wide. 35: Some last-gasp defending from Morocco as we approach half-time. Isco and Iniesta are running the show with tricks, flicks and the occasional reverse pass. Spain vs Morocco: Live World Cup score, goals and highlights from Group B decider 31: Another update, another booking. It’s getting quite feisty here. Manuel da Costa with no intention of getting the ball rakes Isco's leg. 28: This was always going to happen. Amrabat ACCIDENTALLY steps on the boot of Ramos and he’s booked. 25: As it stands, Spain are top the group by virtue of goals scored. Obviously one from Portugal changes everything, but it’s tough going against a stubborn Iran. 22: Spain are in total command again with plenty of passing in Morocco territory. Diego Costa pounces on a throughball but his effort is blocked before he can add to his World Cup tally. SPAIN 1-1 MOROCCO - ISCO 19: Oh… It looks like Morocco just made Spain angry. The lead lasted just five minutes before Isco levelled things up with a typically excellent goal. After a million passes, Iniesta reaches the byline and pops it back to Isco, who strokes home from point-blank range. Spain vs Morocco: Live World Cup score, goals and highlights from Group B decider SPAIN 0-1 MOROCCO - BOUTAIB 14: WHAT?! Morocco have scored! Spain were virtually camped inside Morocco territory and they’ve been punished for an insanely high line. Iniesta’s backpass for Ramos has too much on it and Boutaib steals in, races 40 yards and slips it underneath David de Gea. 12: Ding ding, round 2! Pique should be punished when flying in brutally on Boutaib with his studs showing. You’ve seen red cards shown for less but nothing’s given. 9: Now there’s a fight Eddie Hearn should try and create. Amrabat and Ramos have a shoving match when the Watford star accidentally swipes Thiago. Both avoid the booking. 6: If we’re awarding a winner based on support, Morocco have won. There are boos and whistles every time Spain touch the ball, which as you can imagine, is lots. Spain win themselves a corner thanks to Thiago but David Silva’s delivery is cleared. 3: Decent start for the underdogs. Ambrabat beats Carvajal before Hakimi sends the cross narrowly over David de Gea’s crossbar. 1: And we’re underway. Morocco haven’t got what they’ve deserved in their opening two fixtures, and I suspect that’ll be a hat-trick shortly. Spain vs Morocco: Live World Cup score, goals and highlights from Group B decider THEY ARRIVE… 18:55: The players are just emerging from the tunnel now. National anthems to follow before mayhem ensues… FOCUSED 18:50: Spain don’t look in the mood for fun and games tonight. They were focused during the warm up and just engaged in a huddle on the field. I’m predicting a rather large result tonight. 4-0. COSTA THE HERO!<doc-sep>
With the last Matchday of the 2018 FIFA World Cup group stage set to get underway tonight, Group B toppers Spain gear up to take on Morocco in a game that could have huge implications pertaining to qualification.

After winning their previous game against Iran, Fernando Hierro will be expected to field the same lineup tonight against the Moroccans. David de Gea will continue to guard the sticks while the indomitable centre-back pairing of Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique will patrol the defence ahead of him. Daniel Carvajal returned to fitness before the previous game and is bound to retain his right-back slot. On the other side, the ever-reliable Jordi Alba will make his presence felt at left-back. The 3-man midfield will comprise of Sergio Busquets in a defensive midfield role while veteran Andres Iniesta will be given a little more freedom to attack. David Silva will slot into the number 10 role and look to prop the side up with his playmaking abilities. Spain's frontline will see football's eternal bad-boy Diego Costa being flanked by Isco on the left and Lucas Vazquez on the right. Backed by a supremely talented bench, consisting of the likes of Marco Asensio and Koke, Spain will go into the game all guns blazing, and will look to settle for nothing short of all 3 points. Spain XI and Formation Spain's Predicted Starting XI vs Morocco Spain and Morocco have faced each other just twice in the past, with the Spaniards emerging victorious on both occasions. Hierro and co. will look to keep their record against the Moroccans intact and finish the group in first place so as to face whichever team finishes second in Group B - either Russia or Uruguay in the round of 16.
