Isco: Spain can't keep giving goals away FIFA World Cup 2018 - Spain vs Morocco Reflected on his team's performance

Real Madrid midfielder Isco has demanded improvements from his Spain side after edging through against Morocco.

The playmaker scored the opening goal but Morocco took the lead before Iago Aspas' equaliser.

"Again we started a bit doubtful, we couldn't get going, from now on games are life or death," he insisted.

"We can't keep giving goals away, we have to focus.

"We are lacking what we know best, controlling games and having the ball.

"We have to put the batteries in, any rival team would send us home."

Morocco were accused by some of going in too hard on Spain, particularly given the fact that they had already been eliminated.

"That's football, they did their job and were professional," he said.

"They tackled hard like anyone, we can't complain."

Next up will be a very different challenge as Spain's first place finish pits them against Russia.

"We know it will be hard against the hosts, who are having a fantastic tournament," he added.

The Round of 16 fixture will take place at 16:00 CET on Sunday July 1.
