Spain vs. Morocco: Preview
Spain faces the match still with the scare in its body after the 2-1 defeat against Japan in the last match of the group stage, which for a few minutes left them out of the competition.
"At the end of the match, you have the feeling that you couldn't win or even draw the match and you depended on Germany scoring more goals (against Costa Rica 4-2), thank goodness that happened, but now focused on the match against Morocco and trying to advance to the quarterfinals," said midfielder Carlos Soler.
The Moroccan national team comes into the match after advancing to the round of 16 as the leader of Group F, where they drew with Croatia and won 2-0 against Belgium, who was eliminated. "After 36 years, we have made history," said Abdessamad Ezzalzouli 'Abde', stating that "these days are unforgettable and indescribable."
