Spain v Saudi Arabia

Summary

Spain v Saudi Arabia (Kick-off 5.00pm). Kelly Cates presents coverage of both teams' second match in Group H, which comes from Atlanta Stadium in the USA. The last meeting between the teams was a friendly in 2012, when Spain claimed an emphatic 5-0 win back when they were the holders of this trophy. The Spaniards came into this tournament with high hopes of winning the competition once again and will be strong favourites to prevail in this match. However, the Saudis have invested a great deal of money into football in recent years and will be looking to demonstrate that the growing strength of their domestic league, which has attracted star names from across the world, has had a positive effect on their national team. Both sides played their opening group games on Monday as Saudi Arabia drew 1-1 with Uruguay, while Spain were held to a surprising 0-0 draw against Cape Verde in the first real shock of the tournament. With analysis from Wayne Rooney, Cesar Azpilicueta and Thomas Frank
