Spain v Morocco

Spain coach Luis Enrique hopes his players’ “homework” of practising 1,000 penalties will pay off against Morocco in the World Cup last 16.

Enrique says he set his players the task over the last year in anticipation of facing spot-kicks in the knockout stages of the tournament in Qatar.

“It’s a moment of maximum tension, a time to show your nerve and that you can shoot the penalty in the way you have decided, if you have trained it a thousand times. – BBC Sports.

Prediction

Both teams to score. Spain to qualify
