Spain 2-2 Morocco: Late Drama Sees La Roja Top Group B After Falling Behind Twice

Spain have made it through to the knockout round of the 2018 World Cup after drawing 2-2 with Morocco at the Kaliningrad Stadium in Russia on Monday night.

On an all-important night for Group B - except, of course, the Moroccans, who were simply playing for pride - Fernando Hierro's men knew they'd have to avoid defeat to ensure passage through to the next round.

The game got off to a very fiery start, with some heavy challenges going in on both ends in the opening minutes. Gerard Pique was quite lucky to remain on the pitch after putting a two-footed challenge in on striker Khalid Boutaib in only the eighth minute.
