FIFA WC: Iraq Hold Spain In Warm-up, Sweden Play Out 2-2 Draw With Greece
After Rayan Cherki: Spain was held to a 1-1 draw by Iraq in a World Cup warm-up match in La Coruna, with the Asian side delivering a solid defensive display against a much-changed Spain team.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente gave debuts to Barcelona midfielder Marc Bernal and Real Sociedad defender Jon Martin in his starting 11, despite the two being from the group of support players named to assist preparations for the 26-man World Cup squad.
A host of regulars were absent, including injured trio Nico Williams, Lamine Yamal and Victor Munoz, as well as Champions League finalists Martin Zubimendi, David Raya and Fabian Ruiz. Mikel Oyarzabal, Pedri and Marc Cucurella were also rested, reports Xinhua.
