They fell behind five minutes into the second half after David De Gea made a double save to deny Marcus Berg and Emil Forsberg, only for the ball to loop up in the air for Berg to nod into an empty net . Moments later De Gea had to pull off a sharp save down to his right to prevent Forsberg from doubling the lead. But Spain’s problems deepened when the Manchester United goalkeeper, who had made a stunning save to deny Robin Quaison in the first half, limped off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. They looked on course for a first defeat of the qualifying campaign until Rodrigo fired through a crowded penalty area to clinch the draw.
