What is at stake for Spain and Saudi Arabia?

Spain need a strong performance after their attack failed to deliver in the opening game against a stubborn Cape Verde backline and an inspired goalkeeping performance from Vozinha.

La Roja are also looking to maintain their 100% record against Saudi Arabia, having won all three previous meetings, including a 1-0 in the group stage of the 2006 World Cup.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia may view Sunday's fixture as something of a three hit after picking up a point in their opening game and viewing Cape Verde as their best chance of a win.

The Green Falcons are dreaming of reach the knockout rounds for the first time since the 1994 World Cup in the USA.
