Nikola Kalinic cancelled out Alvaro Morata’s early effort and Ivan Perisic netted the winner for the Balkan side, who qualify for the knockouts in first ahead of the holders
The Czech Republic’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of Turkey meant both sides went through in first and second place in Group D, regardless of the result.
And after Alvaro Morata capped a neat team move with the opener after just seven minutes, Spain were pegged back by Nikola Kalinic shortly before half time to level proceedings.
Ramos then erred from the spot to squander a golden chance to restore the lead, although Danijel Subasic looked to have taken several steps off his line as he saved the effort.
The defender’s error prove costly, as Ivan Perisic struck minutes from the end to rob Spain of the top spot.
