Spain Held to 0-0 Draw by Germany in World Cup Epic

Match Goes to Halftime with Both Teams Searching for Breakthrough

In a thrilling first half, Spain and Germany played to a 0-0 draw in their FIFA World Cup Group E match. Spain, who have not lost to Germany in an official match since the 1988 European Championship, dominated possession but were unable to find a breakthrough against a resolute German defense.

Olmo Earns Free Kick for Spain

Dani Olmo came close to breaking the deadlock in the 25th minute, earning a free kick in a dangerous position just outside the German penalty area. However, his effort sailed wide of the target.

Morata Struggles to Find Form

Alvaro Morata, Spain's starting striker, had a quiet first half and struggled to impose himself on the match. With Spain lacking a cutting edge in the final third, they were unable to create clear-cut chances.

Germany Counter-Attacks Pose Threat

Germany, despite being under constant pressure, showed their threat on the counter-attack. Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane caused problems for the Spanish defense with their pace and skill, but their efforts were thwarted by some excellent defending from Aymeric Laporte and Pau Torres.
