HT | :morocco: Morocco 0–0 Spain :es:

For the first time in the #Qatar2022 knockout stage it’s goalless at the half!

However, it wasn’t an uneventful 45’ — Spain saw more of the ball, but Morocco looked dangerous, especially through Sofiane Boufal on the left.

End of 90’ | :morocco: Morocco 0–0 Spain :es:

Neither side really showed much after the break, as they combined to accumulate only 0.50 xG in the second half.

We’ll have at least 30 more minutes of football here!
