F. Torres put Spain ahead in the 16th minute, finishing from a D. Olmo assist, but Iraq drew level 11 minutes later when M. Doski converted with A. Hashem providing the pass. Spain controlled the ball — 66 percent possession and 13 shots to Iraq's three — but could not find a second goal. With four shots on target across the full match, Spain's attempts to restore their lead fell short, and the game finished 1-1 at Estadio Riazor.

As an international friendly, the result carries no standings consequences. Spain made wholesale changes at half-time, introducing nine different players across both halves as the squad rotation continued throughout. Iraq also used their substitutions freely in the second half. The draw represents a missed opportunity for Spain to win despite their clear dominance of possession and territory, while Iraq held firm after equalising with their side having significantly less of the ball.
