Pino came off the bench in the 66th minute and finished the match, but was seen lying on the turf in visible pain towards the end. “Unfortunately, it could be a collarbone injury. We will have to wait and see. But this injury could mean the end of his World Cup campaign,” stated coach Luis de la Fuente after the game. He added that the Crystal Palace player was in significant pain and further examinations would provide more details.

Following their overnight triumph, Spain secured first place in Group H and will face either Austria or Algeria in the Round of 16, DPA reported.
