46: Start of second half
We are back in Kaliningrad. Will Spain turn dominance into a win, or can Morocco take one or two goals in a counterattack?
Half time: attached, but they had their chances
Spain has dominated possession and played a number of dangerous balls, but a huge communication problem between Andres Iniesta and Sergio Ramos means that this match is tied 1-1.
The Portuguese Ricardo Quaresma scored in the 45th minute against Iran in the other Group B match. In the current state of affairs, Portugal will win the group and Spain will be second .
47: Spain is blowing its luck
Spain should have scored. Andres Iniesta has been free for what appears to be the 50th time of this match. He played a perfect ball through the goal, but a slick Costa Costa did somehow tapped him when he rolled.
45: time to stop
There are two minutes left, a small sting has been removed from the game.
42th: Arrival in Portugal against Iran
More in Saransk, Portugal and Iran are still tied 0-0. In the current state of affairs, Spain and Portugal are moving forward, with Spain winning the group on a break from equality.
37: Busquets is missing
Sergio Busquets pulls a head back from a corner, but he passes it.
35: Spain finds its rhythm
Spain is really starting to turn the screw here. Morocco can not go out of its own way, and the chances it was getting earlier are no longer materializing.
31: Double Yellow for Morocco
Now we have a yellow for Manuel da Costa because of a late challenge on Isco. Mubarak Boussoufa also got one for his dissent while he was protesting against the yellow against da Costa.
29: Another yellow card: Nordin Amrabat
And now, Nordin Amrabat gets the yellow card that he claims since the start of the match. He stepped on the back of Sergio Ramos' hold, sending him flying in the air.
24: Gea gets first place
Khalid Boutaïb ran in the middle with a good opportunity to score his second goal and take the lead of Morocco, but David de Gea made his first stop of the tournament to deny Boutaïb.
22: Yellow card for Karim El Ahmadi
Karim El Ahmadi receives a yellow card for hijacking Sergio Busquets. It could be the first yellow of many in this match.
19: GOAL SPAIN!
A nice set of passes defines Iniesta for free. He brings back Isco, who covers the ball at the bottom of the net.
14 & # 39; GOOD MOROCCO!
Khalid Boutaïb scores the first Moroccan goal of the tournament in breakaway. Iniesta and Ramos passed the ball near the midfield when an incredible communication problem allowed Boutaïb to sneak past and dribble unhindered towards the goal.
12th: Spain is getting closer
Spain is trying to pass through the passes to allow his back or offensive midfielders to run towards the goal. They have been close on some.
8: Morocco Mad About Slide
Morocco is pretty heated, well, everything. Especially at the referee who separates the players before a corner kick and to call a foul, and Gerard Piqué for slipping on two legs on a challenge.
4: Spain has an early advantage in possession time
In the first few minutes, the game went off pretty much as you expected. Spain has owned the ball most of the time and is looking for loopholes in the Moroccan defense, while Morocco is trying to break as fast as it gets on the occasion.
0: Sending stroke!
We are in progress! Spain is in their traditional red, while Morocco is in white.
David de Gea is still looking for the first recording
David de Gea is perhaps the best goaltender in the world, but, incredibly, he is the only goalkeeper who has not been spared in the World Cup. This tells you something about how much Spain has owned the ball, how good his defense is and how Cristiano Ronaldo was putting three Gea's past in the opening match.
