In the second half, Spain brought on Alvaro Morata to create a threat upfront. It proved to be a solution as Morata converted a cross by Jordi Alba in the 62nd minute to put Spain ahead.
Germany responded by bringing on Niclas Fullkrug to create a direct outlet for the attack. It turned out to be another masterstroke as Fullkrug received the ball from Jamal Musiala to equalize for Germany in the 83rd minute.
Both teams held on as the points were shared ahead of the final group game. After Costa Rica defeated Japan, qualification from Group E will go down to the wire.
