FULL-TIME: What a match. Great entertainment and a dramatic finish. Spain grab the draw after Morocco took a deserved lead. The Atlas Lions could have won the game and were unlucky not to in the end. They did themsleves and their country proud. They leave Russia with just a solitary point, but they played far better than that suggests.
10.47PM: HIGH DRAMA IN GROUP B: Iran have just equalized against Portugal. That means Spain's last-gasp goal has them leading the group and avoiding Uruguay in the next round.
10.45PM: EQUALIZER FOR SPAIN! Heartache for Morocco as a brilliant backflicked goal by Aspas finds the back of the net. It is originally ruled offside, but is referred to VAR and allowed to stand. Manic scenes in the stadium. A replay confirms that it was the right decision.
BACK OF THE NET! En-Nesyri celebrates his brilliant headed goal.
GOAL FOR MOROCCO! An unbelievable header from Youssef En-Nesyri from a corner. He lept higher than all the Spanish defence to give De Gea no chance in the Spain goal. De Gea and Co. cannot say they weren't warned, Hakim Ziyech shot was diverted wide to earn the corner from which they scored.
10.35PM: That sums up the evening so far for Spain. They pass the ball around but without much cutting edge, Ramos is forced to hit the ball high and wide from 30 yards. That cannot and wil not hurt Morocco.
10.33PM: A sign of just how well Morocco have played is that Diego Costa has not had a kick all game. The former Chelsea striker makes way after a frustrating 70 minutes for Iago Aspas. Thiago Alcantara also comes off, Marco Asensio replaces him.
10.28PM: Spain are seeing most of the possession but taking too many touches and moving the ball around too slowly. As it stands they will finish second in the group and face Uruguay in the second round...
HAPPY MOROCCO FANS: The Atlas Lions supporters have every reason to be smiling, their team is giving Spain a real game here.
10.19PM: Great goaline clearance from Morcco. Isco's header was goal-bound with the keeper beaten. But Romain Saïss somehow rises to nod it away. From the resulting corner Pique, who is lukcy to still be on the pitch, heads just wide. We're not sure how this match is still 1-1.
MOROCCO HIT THE POST: What a strike from Amrabat, just outside the area on the righthand side the Watford man hits a sweet shot which beats De Gea all ends up, deserved to go in but hits the upright. So, so close. Nervous times for Spain.
10.08PM: Football fans have warmed to the Atlas Lions.
Morocco probably been the unluckiest team in Russia. Should have beaten Iran, deserved a point against Portugal and giving Spain a right game here. #MAR #ESPMAR

10.03PM: A good start to the second period for Morocco, once again Spain are half asleep in defence and the Atlas Lions are seeing a lot of the ball. That results in Pique handling the ball on the edge of the box, for some reason the ref does not see the infringment and play continues. Good signs, though, for the North Africans.
SECOND-HALF STARTS: A key 45 minutes coming up here for Spain and Morocco. Spain know they have to win to get Russia in the next round, not an easy task but an easier one than Uruguay who they will face if they finish second. Morocco will want to finish the tournament with a result. They have played better than their results so far and will want to avoid three straight defeats.
HALF-TIME: A mixed half for Morocco - they are creating chances and causing Spain problems in attack, But when without the ball they are under constant pressure, as the three yellow cards illustrate. Can they keep out Iniesta and Co. in the next 45 minutes? As it stands both Portugal and Spain are going thought, with Portugal beating Iran 1-0. A crucial next half coming up.
SPAIN STRIKE: Iniesta and Isco celebrate the much-deserved equalizer.
9.42PM: They may have been defending for long periods of this half, but they have always been comfortable on the ball and when they have got the chance to attack they have. A very well-worked move down the left ends with Ziyech having a decent shot from outside the box. They are doing themselves and their fans proud here.
HISTORY MAKER: Take a bow Boutaib!

9.33PM: Busquets has a great chance for Spain but heads wide from a corner. The Spainish are trying to turn the screw here, it's important Morocco get to half-time still level or you worry Spain may run away with it. Important nxt 10 minutes coming up.
9.30PM: Spain, as expected, are seeing alot of the ball, while Morocco are seeing several yellow cards. The Morocco captain Moubarak Boussoufa rowing with the ref makes him the third Atlas Lion to go into the book — it's looking unlikely that Morocco will end this one with 11.
BRILLIANT BOUTAIB: The moment the Moroccan striker shocks Spain
9.23PM ANOTHER GREAT CHANCE FOR MOROCCO: Schoolboy defending by Spain gifts Boutaib another clear run-in on goal, De Gea does brilliantly to save and spare his side's blushes. Spain are being very adventurous here, there will be more chances you fancy for the Atlas Lions.
9.17PM GOAL FOR SPAIN: That goal has given Spain a wake-up call. They come straight back. Iniesta atones for his mistake with a neat interchange with Diego Costa, before pulling back for Isco to finish from close range. Lovely goal.
9.12PM GOAL FOR MOROCCO! Two of Spain's most experience players, Sergio Ramos and Andres Iniesta, both dithered on teh halfway line gifting the ball to Khalid Boutaïb who had a clean run in on goal. If he was nervous he didn't show it as he coolly slotted home past David de Gea. What a response!
9.05PM: It has been a bright star for Spain, they are definitely not taking Morocco lightly. The Noerth Africans are chaing shadows at the moment.
KICK-OFF: We're under way in Kaliningrad...
9.00PM: Should they lose this match, it will be only the second time Morocco have lost all of their World Cup group matches in a single campaign, having previously done so in 1994.
Whereas Spain have won their final group game in each of the last eight World Cup tournaments, a run stretching back to 1986.
8:50PM: Such is the support for the Atlas Lions in the stadium that is is almost like a home game.
Home game for #MOR in Kaliningrad. Once again huge support for final game against #ESP
