Spain and Germany play to 1-1 draw, leaving Group E wide open for knockout stage
Niclas Fullkrug struck late in the second half to rescue a 1-1 draw for Germany against Spain in a World Cup Group E showdown. With this development, the race for knockout qualification is still wide open.
Alvaro Morata made the breakthrough for Spain but Fullkrug’s thumping finish salvaged a point.
It all comes down to Thursday’s finale — if Germany beat Costa Rica, and Japan lose to Spain, Germany will qualify automatically.
