Merino Sends Spain Past Ronaldo's Portugal

Mikel Merino's dramatic last-minute goal secured Spain's place in the World Cup quarter-finals, eliminating Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal. The Arsenal midfielder, coming off the bench, connected perfectly with Ferran's 90th-minute cross to seal a 1-0 victory.

Spain will now face either USA or Belgium in the quarter-finals on Friday in Los Angeles. Merino's goal came just as regulation time expired, with the Spanish team showing great determination to overcome Portugal and advance in the tournament. chickenroadslot.pro
