Spain vs germany

Hansi Flick's side still need to defeat Costa Rica in their final Group E game and hope Japan do not spring a shock against Spain but at least they know their hopes of moving into the last 16 are intact after falling behind at Al Bayt Stadium. Spain, who almost went ahead in the first half when keeper Manuel Neuer turned Dani Olmo's shot on to the bar, took the lead after 62 minutes when substitute Alvaro Morata applied a brilliant near-post flick to Jordi Alba's cross. Germany pressed forward and Fullkrug gave them a point seven minutes from the end when he burst through and lashed an unstoppable finish high past Spain keeper Unai Simon. Leroy Sane almost won it for Germany in the dying seconds but ran out of space as he raced through on goal and the ball was scrambled clear. • Wildcard Fullkrug comes up trumps for Germany • Reaction to Spain 1-1 Germany • Fifa World Cup: Groups and schedule • World Cup TV coverage guide Impressive Spain a threat Manager Luis Enrique has pieced together an impressive blend of youth and experience as Spain seek to reclaim the World Cup crown they won in 2010. He has the youthful brilliance of 18-year-old Gavi and Pedri, just 20, but also the old hand who has seen it all in the shape of Sergio Busquets alongside Jordi Alba and the decorated Manchester City pair Aymeric Laporte and Rodri. Gavi, the Barcelona prodigy who became the World Cup's youngest goalscorer since Pele in 1958 when he was on target in the 7-0 win against Costa Rica, was ...

The 2010 World Cup winners face the 2014 champions as Spain aim to send Germany packing after just two matches in Qatar. This heavyweight showdown was a mouth-watering prospect even before the tournament began, but Below are the confirmed lineups for both teams. MORE: Spain vs Germany lineups Hansi Flick's side simply must not lose this match. The reaction back in Germany to consecutive group-stages exits would be unthinkable. "It feels like a first final for us at the World Cup," Flick told journalists ahead of the Spain game. "We will see a team who know what is at stake— a team that will do everything they can in order to make sure that we still have a chance of reaching the Round of 16." Flick's team is unlikely to see many changes, while Spain coach Luis Enrique is known for his tinkering. "As a rule, I don't usually repeat 11s," the former Barcelona coach said. "I’m not worried, but there’s several positions I still have to decide. "That shows the quality we have in our squad. I will wait for our final training session and sleep on it for one more night."

Match in brief For 16 first-half minutes, the visitors were on course for the draw they needed to reach the finals on the night that Manuel Neuer broke the appearances record for a Germany goalkeeper. Reaching that landmark would be the only solace Neuer could take. Álvaro Morata opening the scoring with a powerful header from a corner before Torres half-volleyed his first and Rodri put Spain 3-0 up. Any hopes Joachim Löw's side had of a comeback were all but ended when Torres completed a slick counterattack ten minutes into the second half before firing a clinical fifth. Mikel Oyarzabal added a close-range sixth. Morata put Spain en route to the Nations League final four Graham Hunter, Spain reporter First of all, this could have been a victory of a much wider, perhaps record, margin. Spain were that good. Secondly, this qualifies La Roja for the one senior knockout tournament they’ve yet to win – the UEFA Nations League. That’s big. But the performance was molten gold. The hosts knew what nerveless, error-free football was about and beyond sealing the deal with that vital fourth goal they played with panache, brio and were fantasticaly entertaining. Steffen Potter, Germany reporter I can't help feeling that another tactical approach might have been better for Germany. When they hosted Spain in Stuttgart in September, they attacked La Roja all over the pitch. It was far from perfect and left gaps for Luis Enrique's team to exploit, but that was the case for both sides, as...
