Seville - Gerard Moreno missed a penalty and Alvaro Morata squandered the rebound as Spain's scoring woes struck again on Saturday, a 1-1 draw with Poland leaving them facing a fight to reach the last 16 of Euro 2020.

The whistles that accompanied Morata in the opening stalemate with Sweden last week were saved for the whole Spanish team at the final whistle. Instead, they both played and both were culpable in the game's decisive moment, even if Moreno had otherwise been bright, his shot teeing up Morata's opener.Morata almost gave away an early penalty with an overly-zealous challenge in the box, while Mateusz Klich rippled the top of the net with an effort from distance soon after.

The offside flag went up and Spain's players appeared to expect the cancellation but instead the goal stood, prompting Alba to fling his arms around Morata, who then dashed over to his coach, a show of thanks for the faith placed in him. Spain should have restored their lead after being gifted a dubious penalty for Klich leaving a late foot on Moreno.
