Kaliningrad, June 26 (IBNS): Spain avoided a humiliating defeat against Morocco by finishing a crucial Group B match of the FIFA World Cup in a draw, managing to enter the last 16 of the tournament.

Giving an early lead to Morocco, Khalid Boutaib had scored the first goal of the match.

Avoiding an embarrassing defeat for Spain, Iago Aspas scored a goal during the injury time of the second half to level the match 2-2.
