Full Time: This is virtually the last act of regulation time as the referee’s whistle ends the game. Separating these parties will take more time, and possibly incur fines.

90 + 2 mins: Unai Simon has been riding his luck at many points today and really got lucky here, taking a poor touch with Abde Ejjaljouli and managing to hack the ball just in time.
90 + 1 min: The ball finds Alvaro Morata at the far post but he neither heads at goal nor looks for a teammate to shoot back at goal, the ball flies into the stands.
90 min: Romain Saiss goes into the book for tripping Dani Olmo and Spain take a free-kick on the left. Carlos Soler ends it, as the board goes up for five minutes of added time.
89 min: Both teams are pushing now, and it takes a great block from Sofyan Amrabat to keep out Nico Williams’ shot after Alvaro Morata comes down the right, but the flag is already up.
86 min: Achraf Hakimi still poses more of a threat, though, as his cross creates an opportunity for Walid Chedira, but the substitute can’t connect cleanly after spinning the ball.
84 min: A blow for Morocco as they make a triple substitution, including Nosair Mazraoui who appears to have picked up an injury. Almost immediately, Nayef Aguerd goes down and even he cannot continue, Javad El Yamik takes his place.
81 min: A good effort from Alvaro Morata, who fizzes the ball across the face of goal from a tight angle, nobody is gambling on the end of it.
78 min: Jordi Alba’s cross is only half-cleared by Selim Amallah to Dani Olmo on the edge of the area, but he can’t keep the volley down. From 25m there were some strikes.
76 mins: First yellow card of the game, Aymeric Laporte seeing yellow for a late lunge on Achraf Hakimi.
75 mins: Another change for Spain, Nico Williams coming on for Ferran Torres.
73 min: Morocco have been very difficult to break down so far. Spain have seen a slight shortfall of ideas in attacking areas.
69 min: First chance for Alvaro Morata to trouble the Moroccan defense, but his touch is a little too heavy as he enters the area and Nayef Aguirre takes advantage with a well-timed sliding challenge.
66 min: Sofiane Boufal has been limping for a few minutes and now comes off, Abde Ejjaljouli replaces him.
63 min: Gavi and Marco Asensio are coming on for Carlos Soler and Alvaro Morata, the first change of the game, after Jordi Alba gets a spot of treatment.

59 min: Great run from Gavi to flourish past three challenges and find Dani Olmo on the left, but Achraf Hakimi is there with a well-timed challenge. Morocco is struggling to get out a bit now.
55 min: Yassin Bono stands tall at his near post to fist in Dani Olmo’s fierce free-kick from the right, Marco Asensio flicking the ball on to set up an angle for Olmo.

52 min: Luis Enrique doesn’t look too happy on the sidelines at the moment. The Spain head coach wants his side to show more in the final third, of course.
49 min: Spain’s approach has been the same so far in this second half. Morocco has barely had a kick so far, but neither looks like they’ve been broken.
46 mins: Morocco kick-off and the second half is underway. Will you see Alvaro Morata in the second half?
Half Time: Spain had the ball at the end of the first 45 minutes but Morocco had the best chance, with Nayef Aguirre heading unmarked in front of goal. The 2010 champions will need to find a cutting edge to take possession after the break.
45 mins: Just one extra minute of added time at the end of this first half.
42 min: Spain has plenty of the ball as you’d expect, but they rarely seem to find a way through. By contrast, Morocco has had their moments, with Sofiane Boufal drifting to the left of the area before heading in at the post for Nayef Aguirre, who is unmarked but heads over. great chance

39 min: Morocco has been trying to get fullbacks Nosair Mazraoui and, here, Achraf Hakimi, behind Spain’s rearguard in this first half. Hakim Ziyech overhit this pass, but it only needs to come out once.
36 min: Spain responds to that shot by trying to pick up the tempo, pinging the ball inside the Morocco half. However, there is still no way.
33 minutes: Honor to take the ball between the ferran torrse inside the Spain’s haphaers, a second time assigned to diving and ask for your left leg.

31 minutes: Morocco seems to be re-organized after that little spain pressure, Rodrri brought the Defence to breathe defenses to breathe.
27 min: Marco Asensio has the first real chance for Spain in the offside trap, but he goes just wide and fires a shot into the sidenetting at the near post. Perhaps it would have been better to shoot Yassin Bono there.
26 min: The flag is up, saving the blushes of both Gavi and Ferran Torres. The latter tees up Yassin Bono, whose clearance is cut out, but Torres is offside as the ball bounces back into the area. Gavi’s effort is brilliantly blocked, however, and Torres is also denied in the follow-up, although it didn’t count anyway.
