Spain tried to control the pace of the game with ball possession but wasn't able to create many significant opportunities until Alvaro Morata found the net in the 62nd minute with a nice one-touch from close range after a well-place low cross from Jordi Alba.

Germany struggled and only threatened sporadically in a few breakaways and set pieces, but Fullkrug finally found the equalizer in the 83rd with a shot from close range into the top of the net.The goal kept Germany from enduring consecutive losses at the start of a World Cup for the first time.
