Both Spain and Poland are in danger of failing to qualify for the knockout stage of the European Championships after drawing their second Group E game 1-1 on Saturday.
The result leaves the Spanish with two points from their first two matches and the Poles with just one and both probably need to win their last group games to avoid an early exit.
Spain coach Luis Enrique made only one change to the side that drew 0-0 with Sweden, bringing striker Gerard Moreno into the starting 11 and pairing him with the much-criticized Morata.
Meanwhile Poland played a 5-3-2 formation, with Robert Lewandowski the most advanced of their players.
The Polish began looking to take the game to Spain with Mateusz Klich firing just over from distance before Spain began to take control, with Morata’s attempted chip headed clear.
Although the Spanish were gaining terrain as the half progressed, the Poles were keeping their shape and Jordi Alba had to use his pace to stop Lewandowski’s surging run forward.
Spain took the lead with a moment of suspense in the 27th minute when Moreno crossed for Morata to slip the ball past Wojciech Szczesny. The flag went up for offside, but after being revised by the VAR the goal was given as legal.
