At the other end, Walid Cheddira will feel he could have wrapped up a shock win inside normal time but squandered three great chances.
After a goalless 90 minutes, this tense clash headed into extra-time where Spain made most of the running and looked to grab a last-gasp winner.
Pablo Sarabia hit the post with a volley in the third minute of injury time as it went to penalties.
The late sub then thumped the post with Spain’s first effort in the shootout before Carlos Soler saw his effort saved.
Sergio Busquets also missed before Spanish-born Achraf Hakimi sealed it 3-0 with a dink.
