Commentary

It finishes all square at Estadio de Riazor, where Spain are held to a 1-1 draw by Iraq. The hosts, who registered an xG of 1.36 to their opponents' measly 0.15, controlled large periods of the first half. Therefore, it wasn't overly surprising when they took the lead in the 16th minute, as captain Torres rounded off a swift counter with a neat finish. However, La Roja were stunned 11 minutes later as, against the run of play, Doski caught out Joan Garcia from a tight angle to draw the visitors level. Substitutes Jesus Rodriguez and Gonzalo Garcia went close to restoring Spain's lead after the break, but Luis de la Fuente's side were held to a second successive draw, having played out a goalless stalemate with Egypt last time out. The European champions finalise their World Cup preparations against Peru in Mexico on Monday, while Iraq do the same against Venezuela in Illinois the following day. That's all for today. Thanks for joining us. Until next time, goodbye!

Pino, who has been lively since his half-time introduction, lines one up from distance. However, the ambitious attempt is always rising.
