  • 51'
    A sliding tackle on Aspas earns Davidzada the first booking of the game.
  • 46'
    Viera has a go from 20 yards but his strike is well over the bar. Spain playing with a three-man defence now.
  • 45'
    Israel get the ball rolling. Lopetegui has made one substitution, Sergio Ramos making way for Iago Aspas.
  • 45'
    No breaking the deadlock in the first half. Spain have controlled possession but good defending from Israel means chances have been scarce.
  • 44'
    The game appears to be opening up towards the end of the half. Azpilicueta has to send the ball for a corner after Atar's floated a low ball across the six-yard box.
  • 42'
    Great break from Spain and Pedro is released behind the defence for the first time this evening. The Chelsea man tries to slot it past the keeper who gets a crucial hand to the ball.
  • 40'
    Though the ball has mostly been hogged by Spain, the hosts have enjoyed brief spells of possession. Natcho was awarded some time and space outside the box as he blazed his strike high and wide.
  • 33'
    The entire Israeli team pinned inside their own box while Spain knock it about from side to side, Sergio Ramos unleashes a fierce effort from 25 yards forcing Harush to stretch and tip it over.
  • 28'
    The away team are bombarding the Israeli box with crosses, but are yet to create a clear-cut chance. The hosts very tight in defence.
  • 26'
    Aduriz couldn't keep his header down in front of goal and it sailed high over the bar.
  • 19'
    Spain turn it up a notch. Harush is forced into action first to punch away a cross and then to block Pedro's long-distance strike. Nervy from the keeper.
  • 13'
    The hosts clear another dangerous cross, this time Monreal from the left.
  • 12'
    75 per cent ball possession for the visitors, but they cannot break through Israel's back line.

    Azpilicueta does well to get to the byline but his low cross is cleared.
  • 5'

  • 2'
    Spain straight on the ball from the off with the hosts defending deep.
  • 1'
    Spain, in their white away kit, get the ball rolling in Jerusalem. Israel in their traditional blue.
