Italy, Spain play in key World Cup qualifying match for Russia 2018

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

Italy and Spain are two of the most storied soccer nations on the planet, and they meet in a key, early UEFA World Cup qualifying match in Turin. 

Both won their opening matches of Group G play, with Spain destroying Liechtenstein 8-0 and Italy getting by Israel 3-1 last month. With only the group winners guaranteed a place at Russia 2018 and the runner-up sent to a playoff, the head-to-head meetings between the two European powers will likely determine the automatic berth, making this early matchup all the more important. 

Stay tuned here for highlights of goals and key moments throughout the match.
