Morocco vs. Spain

12′: Too high

Noise …

25′: Potential disaster – and missed opportunity

Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and defender Nayef Aguerd couldn’t connect on a pass, and Spain nearly turned it into a goal. Shortly after the turnover, Gavi had his shot deflected off the crossbar and then Ferran Torres‘ shot was rejected out of play.

Ultimately, Spain was called for offside.

Morocco defender Noussair Mazraoui got off a thundering shot, but Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon stunted the attempt.
