Meanwhile, Morocco stunned Belgium and beat Canada after an opening draw with Croatia, topping their group to set up this tie with 2010 champions Spain.
Later today, Portugal take on Switzerland in the final last-16 game of Qatar 2022, with the victors from that match-up playing the winners of this game in the next round.

Full-time: Morocco 0-0 Spain
90+5 mins: Dani Olmo has a late chance to win it for Spain. He takes a free kick from the left side of the pitch and sends it towards goal. There’s an awkward bounce just before Bono but the goalkeeper turns it away!
Goalless. Good defending from Morocco and a lack of creativity from Spain means that no goals were scored in the 90 minutes and the match is heading to extra-time.
Can one of the teams win it before a penalty shootout?
Morocco 0-0 Spain
90+2 mins: Morata and El Yamiq clash knees and the Moroccan defender goes down like he’s been shot but he wins his side a free kick.
The set piece is floated into the box before getting headed over to Sabiri. He looks to shoot on the spin but misses the ball and the whistle goes for a foul in the build-up.
Free kick Spain.
Morocco 0-0 Spain
90 mins: Romain Saiss takes down Dani Olmo on the left side of the pitch and gives away a free kick earning himself a yellow card in the process.
Carlos Soler curls the free kick over to the back post where Alvaro Morata arrives and heads the ball well over the crossbar!
Five added minutes to play.
Morocco 0-0 Spain
88 mins: Close! Morocco almost nick it at the death as Walid Cheddira shoots on the turn but can’t make enough contact to properly direct the ball and his effort goes wide of the target.
Morocco 0-0 Spain
85 mins: Walid Regragui makes a triple change for Morocco bringing on Walid Cheddira, Abdelhamid Sabiri and Yahia Attiyat Allah.
The manager is then forced into a fourth swap just a minute later as Nayef Aguerd goes down with an injury and can’t play on. Jawad El Yamiq take his place.
Morocco have used all five substitutes now as they hunt for a winning goal.
Morocco 0-0 Spain
83 mins: Chance! Williams darts inside from the right and prods a ball into the penalty area. Alvaro Morata flies in behind the defence, gets to the ball, then flashes a shot across the face of goal.
That was a close one.
Morocco 0-0 Spain
81 mins: Good defending! Nico Williams’ first major involvement sees him drive down the right wing and curl a cross into the six-yard box. Dani Olmo is waiting in space but Romain Saiss gets to the ball ahead of him and lifts it out of play.
Inside the last 10 minutes now. Will we see a goal?
Morocco 0-0 Spain
78 mins: Aymeric Laporte collects the first yellow card of the game for a lunge on Hakim Ziyech. That’s left the Chelsea man in a spot of pain but Morocco are awarded a free kick inside their own half.
It’s booted long but Ziyech can’t keep it in play over on the right wing.
Morocco 0-0 Spain
75 mins: Spain are trying to walk the ball into the back of the net now. They’ve tried crossing the ball into the middle but Morocco’s central defence is too good.
They need to start taking risks and shooting from range. Nico Williams is on to replace Ferran Torres.
Morocco 0-0 Spain
72 mins: There have been just five shot attempts in this match after 70 minutes. The fewest shots in a match at this World Cup is nine during Argentina’s 2-0 win against Mexico.
This game looks set to beat that.
