World Cup day eight: it's a wrap
Germany salvaged a point as they drew 1-1 with Spain during their World Cup game at Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar.
Alvaro Morata gave Spain a deserved lead in the 62nd minute, only for the goal to be cancelled out by substitute Niclas Fullkrug in the 83rd minute.
Der Mannschaft, however, must win their next game and will need results go in their favour to progress to the next round of the tournament.
Earlier, their Group E opponents Costa Rica emerged victorious in a 1-0 win over Japan.
Morocco provided another major World Cup upset after beating Belgium 2-0, while Croatia showed their class by thrashing Canada 4-1.
Tomorrow will see tournament favourites Brazil in action against Switzerland.
And Ronaldo's Portugal will take on Uruguay in a highly anticipated clash in Group H.
Monday fixtures
Cameroon v Serbia (1pm, Qatar time)
South Korea v Ghana (4pm)
Brazil v Switzerland (7pm)
Portugal v Uruguay (10pm)

It's that "Mannschaft" mentality. You just cannot write a Germany side off.


They're psychologically tough and many teams might have folded after finding themselves 1-0 down to Spain. They were surely on the brink of elimination, but found the will to grab an equaliser from somewhere.
