Spain secured top spot in Group B with a dramatic 2-2 draw against Morocco and will play their first knockout game against Russia on 30 June.
The stylish Spaniards were tipped to breeze past Morocco but were stunned in the 14th minute when a Sergio Ramos error let in Khalid Boutaib, who put it through the legs of De Gea (1-0).
This was historic: Morocco’s first ever World Cup finals goal. The lead was short-lived after Spanish midfield dynamo Andres Iniesta set up Isco to level matters.
Boutaib almost got his brace after being put clear but this time De Gea was able to smother the shot.
Spain were dominant, but lacked finishing: with 15 minutes to go they had strung together over 600 passes with only the solitary goal to show for it.
Their fans were astounded when they conceded a second late in the half, with Youssef Ait Bennasser smashing a terrific header into the top corner! Morocco 2-1 up.
There was a dramatic equaliser at the death, courtesy of Iago Aspas who came off the bench to score.
Despite the linesman flagging for offside, VAR allowed the goal and 2-2 was the result.
