Who Spain will play in the next round of World Cup and when after Japan defeat

Spain will face Morocco in the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup after progressing to the last 16 as Group E runners-up following their defeat against Japan on Thursday.

La Roja only needed a point to be sure of at least a second place finish in Group E after starting the day at the top of the table, following a 7-0 thrashing of Costa Rica and a 1-1 draw with Germany in their opening two fixtures.

And whilst they were given a major scare, being beaten by Japan, they did enough to progress on goal difference despite Germany's victory. It is now Morocco who they will face in the last 16, with that tie taking place at 3pm on Tuesday, December 6 at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar.
