Spain were unable to find a winner as they drew 1-1 with Iraq at the Estadio de Riazor in La Coruña, a frustrating result in their opening World Cup warm-up fixture.

The Spanish side laboured throughout the contest, failing to break down a resilient Iraq outfit that held firm to claim a share of the spoils against one of Europe's strongest nations.

The stalemate will give Spain's coaching staff plenty to consider ahead of the tournament, with the team's performance falling short of expectations in what was meant to be a confidence-boosting outing.
