Description
78'
Germany, aside from Musiala, have struggled to provide a genuine attacking threat. They appear rather toothless and have done all game.

44'

12'
Germany look to have set themselves up to counter-attack Spain, rather than battle for possession.
10'

8'
Germany are having trouble keeping the ball.
4'
Germany are being careful to retain their shape as Spain build from the back.
2'
Spain have begun with intent, pressing high up the field.

We're underway here in Qatar.
Hello and welcome to the live text commentary for Spain's clash with Germany in Group E of the World Cup.
Spain have made one change from the side that beat Costa Rica. Carvajal has replaced Azpilicueta at right-back.
Germany have made two changes from the side that lost to Japan. Kehrer has replaced Schlotterbeck in defence and Goretzka has come in for Havertz in midfield.
Spain come into this one sitting pretty at the top of Group E having taken three points from their opening game, a 7-0 rout of Costa Rica. Victory over Germany would all but confirm their place in the round of 16 ahead of their final game of the group phase against Japan.
Germany come into this one rooted to the bottom of Group E without a single point to their name. A win would boost their hopes of qualifying for the last 16. Anything other than three points would leave them relying on results elsewhere heading into their final game of the group phase against Costa Rica.
Thank you for joining the live text commentary for this match. Until next time, goodbye.
The final matchday of the group phase will take place simultaneously on Thursday. Spain face Japan while Germany lock horns with Costa Rica.
