With the goalless tie, Spain finish second behind Germany and China in the third after the group leaders German side claimed a 4-0 rout over South Africa in a match having kicked off simultaneously in Montpellier.
Keeping in mind that a draw would be enough to guarantee China a last 16 spot but a win may see them against the holders United States, the 1999 runners-up kept their starting 11 unchanged from South Africa victory and played a counter-attack format.
