But despite the huge importance of the game, Salvadorian official Barton made a huge clanger just minutes in.
After an early free kick to Spain, he realised he hadn’t brought his magic foam onto the pitch.
Barton was left red-faced as one of his colleagues had to rush over to him and hand him a new can so he could mark up the defensive wall.
Fans couldn’t believe what they were seeing after the gaffe in such a high-profile game.
One wrote on X: “C’mon ref how do you forget your magic spray.”
Another said: “The ref forgot his spray… I’m done bruh.”
More to follow.
