Spain vs Iraq Highlights FIFA International Friendly Match 2026

We are delighted to have the Spanish national team back in these parts. It's going to be quite the atmospheric scent. Florian van Stubbe. 11 tonight bears slim resemblance to what we're likely. Iglesias. Gavis here of opposition on the horizon for them. Friendly win against Andorra with eight changes. Xavier Ali Aljamares. Especially considering this is the last time that... What Luis de la Fuente's side is capable of. It is Spain who get us underway. Second highest. Granado was loitering in... Put himself in to the favourable position to control the ball. Poro. It's a probing ball. Gavi is away. Had choices and instead found only... That's a mistake which Iraq can pounce upon. In from Ferrage and... Iglesias. Ferran Torres. Alex Baena. It's a wonderful reaction from Ahmed Bazia. Free kick against them. Now here's the effort from Alex Baena. That somehow... So close to 1-0 in favour of Spain. Alex Baena opted to go for goal. And having found a route through the legs of Zaid Tassine. It took... It's the first corner of the game. The goalkeepers dealt with it. Marco Ferrage against Pedro Poro. Headed away by Mart... Alex Baena. Toski. Ferran. Alex Baena. And a little bit that hasn't yet clicked. Cross was marginally too deep for Borja Iglesias. Borja was intended to reach Alex Baena. And once it did... Borja Iglesias can let it run for Ferran Torres. Spain in business here. Ferran Torres going alone. Ruthless stop from Spain and Ferran Torres. Quick as a flash from one end of the field to the other. Well they came for goals tonight. They will hope that is just the first of them. And never mind the opponent. You simply cannot afford to give players of the quality of Ferran Torres that sort of space to run into. That kind of time to make up his mind. Ahmed Bazia has already made one very good save. Alex Baena. Rivaldo is one of those who'll be hoping to seize his opportunity this evening. Been outstanding for Bayer Leverkusen hasn't he? But he's seen some typically mesmerizing stuff from... Back out. Wonderful pass. Toski. Oh yes! Something very special from the boot of Mirkas Toski to get it rag level. Who saw that coming? Not Joan Garcia. Magnus Iglesias. Daniil Mou. Mou annoyed. Angle wasn't ideal but he clearly feels he had the capability to get the better of Ahmed Bazia from that position. Didn't need too much of a look at the goal. For Grimaldo. Plenty to aim at. Grimaldo. Three as we've seen from Alex Grimaldo so far. That was a lovely move wasn't it Gabi? Trying to find Alex Baena. Oh lovely run. Gabi looking for Borja Iglesias. Defended that by Hakan Hussein. But he couldn't get it away Iraq and Ferran Torres. Ferran Torres has already scored. Alex Baena with the corner. Daniil Mou. Ibrahim Baesh. He wanted the glory for himself. Toski. Al-Hamadi on the move from an offside position. Didn't look a little too good to be true. Ruffles Spanish feathers but immediately Spain on the attack. One of the quintet of players sent on at the interval. Making an immediate impression on the game. Wasn't too far away from announcing himself in spectacular fashion. That's his Gabi. This is more like it from Spain. Gabi found some space. In corner. That is brilliantly met. One of those on debut. Spain tonight. A great opportunity to mark it with a goal. Ali Jassim. Toski. Jesus Rodriguez. Jesus Rodriguez has come on. What is that? Iraq corner. Jean Garcia comes. He committed to coming. It was Eamon Hussein who made the contact and Zeh Tassi. Back from Alex Baena. Jesus Rodriguez. Alex Baena. It's a really difficult. Really beautifully worked. Good strength and determination from Alex Baena. Is the latest to earn the Spain captain's armband tonight. Let's go for goal. Sergio Gomez. For Jeremy Pino. Alex Baena. Jeremy Pino is in. Not as good as we've seen in terms of the passing in the interchange from Spain in this second half. But kick off their World Cup campaign. Their first in four decades on Tuesday week. That's well done. Jesus Rodriguez. He was fouled. Bit of ball. Strong challenge. Rebin might have felt a fair one. He's taking with him but. It's been really bright since. Jeremy Pino. Defiably earned. To the Entes. Better from the contest to see through now. Jesus Rodriguez. Still hopeful. Still believing. Spain have embraced him. And he's got a famous outcome tonight. A draw for Iraq against one of the World Cup favourites. Unexpected but very welcome.
