Dylan Strome Jersey intensity was still suffocating at times before substitute Alvaro Morata produced a superb finish from Jordi Alba's 62nd-minute cro s to net his second goal of the tournament.But Werder Bremen striker Fullkrug, who only made his international debut 11 days ago, had a similar impact from the bench when he lashed into the top corner following fine work from fellow substitute Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala. 1H 2H Final Spain011Germany011Goals: ESP Alvaro Morata (Jordi Alba) 62nd minute.GER Niclas Fullkrug (Jamal Musiala) 83rd minute.MORE:Hansi Flick's men still have it all to do to avoid back-to-back first-round exits for the first time in their nation's history. They already have an unwanted first, with Germany having never before failed to win either of their first two group games.Die Mannschaft captain Manuel Neuer was making his 18th World Cup appearance, tying the tournament record for a goalkeeper, and he showed his enduring quality by turning a rasping Dani Olmo drive against the cro sbar in the seventh minute.Both teams probed at one another throughout an absorbing first half, when Antonio Rudiger headed home for Germany and Ferran Torres blazed over from close range for Spain. Both those attacks were pulled back for offside.Luis Enrique and Flick each dispensed with their strikerle s formations to fine effect, with Morata replacing Torres and having a swift impact. The Atletico Madrid striker cleverly got in front of Niklas Sule to deftly finish with the outside of his right boot.Where Morata chose precision, Germany's unlikely hero Fullkrug chose brute force, powering home acro s Unai Simon and high into the net.Germany will progre s if they beat
Luc Snuggerud Jersey Costa Rica on Thursday and Japan lose to Spain. If the latter game is a draw, Germany must either win by two goals or by a one-goal margin while scoring more times than the Samurai Blue on the final matchday.MORE: 2022 in the life of Niclas Fullkrug: Wins promotion to the Bundesliga Back-to-back Bundesliga Player of the Month First Germany call-up And now a goal! Sporting News Football Club (@sn_footballclub) Fulltime: That was excellent, high quality stuff. Couldn't take your eyes off it. Spain will be disappointed not to have claimed a major scalp, Germany really needed three points but are still alive... just.90th minute +5: Incredible from Goretzka, who gets back to tackle Williams in magnificent fashion. Now here comes Sane, he rounds Simon but doesn't shoot. Rodri clears behind. Spain see off another corner and I think we're done.90th minute+3: Nervy header from Carvajal, who needle sly gives away a corner. It's the sort of setpiece you hate to concede with the game on the line three minutes into stoppage time.90th minute+1: There will be six additional minutes.90th minute:
Chris Kunitz Jersey Corner to Spain. Again they go short but Olmo and Williams can't work an opening.83rd minute:GOOOAAAALLLL!!!!!! Fullkrug!!!!!It's one apiece for the replacement strikers. Musiala is involved, of course he is, and Fullkrug runs off the recently introduced Balde to smash into the top corner.This strike by Niclas Fllkrug was TOO CLEAN FOX Soccer (@FOXSoccer) Niclas Fullkrug stepping up to the plate for Germany!

They're knocking on the door and quite loudly.73rd minute:Brilliant save from Simon!The Spain goalkeeper has been a madcap presence this evening but he strands tall when it matters, thwarting Musiala at close quarters.71st minute: The brilliant Musiala dances down the Spain left.

Klostermann, Sane and Fullkrug on for Kehrer, Sane and Muller with Germany's World Cup hopes hanging by a thread. That finish against Germany is a
Jan Rutta Jersey fourth goal in Alvaro Morata's last five Spain games. He also moves above Fernando Morientes in the all-time scoring charts. Sporting News Football Club (@sn_footballclub) 66th minute: That's Asensio's last act as pacy winger Nico Williams comes on. Koke, with his more robust stylings, replaces Gavi's midfield. Both those changes from Luis Enrique feel made to measure for the game situation. Flick yet to go to his bench.65th minutes: Chances at both ends. Goretzka has a shot blocked as Germany frantically look for a response. But they leave space for Olmo to gallop down the left. His ball acro s the box reaches Asensio but the Real Madrid man thrashes over.62nd minute:GOOOOAAALLLLL!!!!! Morata!!!!!Luis Enrique's change pays dividends.

Germany are all over it, Gundogan tees up Kimmich and the Spain goalkeeper at least atones by saving at full stretch. The resulting corner is cleared.54th minute: Luis Enrique blinks first and sends on Morata for Torres, who can't follow up his hat-trick from the Nations League encounter.
