Full-time: Spain 1-1 Germany

After a blistering last five minutes, the referee blows the final whistle.

What a match that was! Germany looked done and dusted after Morata put Spain ahead.

Realizing how dire their situation was after the Japan defeat, Flick was able to make the necessary tactical switches to allow for a comeback.

In the end, the substitutes won the day and Fullkrug will certainly be a very popular man back home.

Spain will not be too displeased with the result, however, as they already secured

Alvaro Morata: “Could have been a semi-final or final of a World Cup.”

Speaking with BBC TV, Spanish forward Alvaro Morata had this to say about the match, “When we are on the bench, we are important to [help] change the game – and it [ended up] like this.”

“Germany has an amazing team and I think it was an amazing game. [With these] two teams, it could have been a semi-final or a final of a World Cup.”

“The most important thing is to win, and tonight they scored an amazing goal. We were unlucky not to have won.”

Ilkay Gundogan: “[Fullkrug’s] finish was unbelievable.”

“We had a couple of really good chances,” Germany’s Ilkay Gundogan told the BBC after the match. “In the end, the result is fair against a very tough Spanish side. Now it’s all about the final game of the group.”

“In a World Cup, you already know it’s going to be dramatic and full of ups and downs. The way Niclas [Fullkrug] scored, the finish was unbelievable. He stepped up when we needed [it].”

It’s a wrap!

For a match everyone was eyeing from the very moment the World Cup schedule was released, it did not fail to deliver.

The end-to-end nature, coupled with some rather impactful substitutions, helped the match live up to its billing.

So where do things stand in Group E now that the dust has settled? Spain continue to maintain their hold on the top spot with four points, while Japan and Costa Rica occupy the second and third places at three points each.

Germany will be grateful for the one point they drew today as it means their chances of progressing into the Round of 16 are still intact.

The final round of matches within this group has just become that much more compelling after today’s result.
