The Khalifa stadium witnessed the game between Spain and Japan, with a 2-1 victory for the Japanese. In a relatively even first half, the Spaniards stood up with their touch game and dominated the actions with Álvaro Morata taking all the flashes by scoring the first goal. However, in the second half, the story would be different.
It was barely a minute 13 when Juventus striker Álvaro Morata put the Spaniards ahead with his third World Cup goal Qatar . The rest of the first part would be controlled by Spain, although they did not end up concretizing the goals.
