Merino’s Late Winners Seal Spain’s Semifinal Spot | California News
Description
Spain stunned Belgium with a last-minute winner from substitute Mikel Merino to book their spot in the World Cup semifinals, extending their unbeaten run to 36 games. Merino, who’s taken just four shots all tournament, scored twice in dramatic fashion — including against Portugal — proving impact players can shine in minimal minutes. Belgium’s star keeper Thibaut Courtois exited with an injury, leaving a shaky defense vulnerable to Spain’s late surge. With their historic 600+ minute shutout streak broken early, Belgium couldn’t recover. Spain now faces France — the tournament’s top-ranked team — in a showdown they’re ready to dominate, fueled by clutch performances from unsung heroes.
