Morocco to take the first penalty

FT (ET): Morocco 0-0 Spain

Well, we have the ultimate end to this last 16 tie.

Sarabia came the closest to scoring in the 120th minute of the game.

Maybe this means it is going to be Morocco's night, the footballing gods seem to be looking over them.

Luis Enrique demanded that every player take a 1000 penalties before being able to set foot on the plane to Qatar.

Let's see if they did their homework.

Play is brought back as the ball is adjudged to have gone out before Williams got the cross in.

24. Spain are still coming forward, looking to utilise the fresh legs on the wings.

Amrabat wins the ball back again and starts a counter attack.

The ball comes to Cheddira again but he runs out space and Simon gathers the ball.

Laporte did well to check his run there.

22. Saiss has come off the pitch it seems to be a hamstring issue.

They have strapped his leg up to try and get him through the game.

Morocco's fans are still whistling and jeering every touch.
