Iraq hold Spain to 1-1 draw

Spain will head to Chattanooga, via Nashville, on Friday morning, but most of the players who made their debuts in this final preparation game will not be joining them. Instead, they will be left to ponder a 1-1 draw against Iraq at Estadio Riazor. This outcome may not be particularly impressive, and the performance was similarly underwhelming, with a 22-minute cameo from Mikel Merino being a rare highlight.

Luis de la Fuente's side remain among the favourites for the World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico, and rightly so; this was essentially a shadow team, bearing little resemblance to their usual lineup.
