Portugal – Spain (0-1): Spain, one of the favorites for the title, had all the difficulty in the world to get rid of Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, who perhaps played his last international match at the age of 41, Monday in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Arlington, near Dallas.
La Roja, world champion in 2010, scored in the 90th + 1 thanks to Mikel Merino, who had just come on. The Spaniards will face in the quarterfinals the winner of the opposition between the United States and Belgium, which will be played Monday evening in Seattle.
United States – Belgium (4-1): The United States, co-organizers of the tournament, were taken out with authority by Belgium (4-1) in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup on Monday in Seattle.
Despite the tenure of Folarin Balogun, authorized to play after an intervention by Donald Trump with Fifa which caused a scandal, Team USA foundered against the rediscovered Belgians, who will challenge Spain in the quarter-final on Friday in Los Angeles.
