Japan 2 Spain 1 LIVE SCORE: Doan and Tanaka FIRE Japan into lead as Spain in risk of World Cup exit
SPAIN have fallen behind against Japan in the final match of Group E, but will still qualify for the last-16 as things stand.
Alvaro Morata kept up his impressive goal scoring form for his national side, powering a header into the back of the net after a cross from Cesar Azpilicueta.
However, Spain were unable to hold onto the lead as Ritsu Doan fired Japan level with an impressive goal, cutting in on his left foot to fire past Unai Simon.
And Japan took the lead just moments later, with VAR giving the goal after the linesman deemed the ball to have been out of play in the build-up.
Japan are currently through with Spain as it stands but there are nerves in the Spanish camp as Germany remain level with Costa Rica.
If Costa Rica find a winner, Spain will be out.
