Spain were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Iraq in their final World Cup warm-up at Estadio de Riazor. Ferran Torres gave La Roja an early lead in the 16th minute, but the reigning European champions struggled to build on their advantage against a determined Iraqi side who were brimming with confidence after qualifying for their first World Cup since 1986.

Iraq stunned Spain through Merchas Doski's brilliant 28th-minute strike. Without key players like Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Pedri and David Raya, Spain looked toothless in attack during a lacklustre second half as Ahmed Basil made several crucial saves to preserve the draw and keep Iraq's hopes alive.

The result raises questions about Spain's readiness for their World Cup opener against Cape Verde on June 15. Iraq, playing in their first World Cup since 1986, will face Venezuela before taking on Norway, while Spain concludes preparations against Peru in Puebla, Mexico, where they'll need to improve significantly before the tournament begins.
