Spain, one of the favourites to win the World Cup this year, topped Group B following an incredible turnaround at Kaliningrad, Russia with Iago Aspas' last-gasp leveller ensuring a 2-2 draw against Morocco.
However, La Roja's defensive woes remain a concern and the 2010 World Cup champions must address this as they prepare to face hosts Russia on Sunday in a crucial Round of 16 clash. In their last six World Cup matches, Spain have conceded 12 goals, which is equal to the number of goals conceded by them in 18 World Cup matches before that.
