In the first group of World Championship qualifiers, the reigning world and European champions Spain painfully dropped points. Del Bosque's team failed to convert a penalty kick and could not maintain their lead against the French.
The hosts opened the scoring in a bizarre situation in the 25th minute, with S. Ramos finding the back of the net. In the 42nd minute, C. Fabregas missed a penalty kick, and the French equalized at the end of the match through O. Giroud.
Both teams are now leaders of Group I (with 7 points each).
