Spain Faces Belgium in World Cup Quarterfinal at SoFi Stadium
Spain and Belgium Clash in World Cup Quarterfinal
Spain has yet to concede a single goal in this World Cup, holding an unblemished defensive record throughout the tournament. Their goalkeeper, Unai Simon, has set a World Cup record with 609 consecutive scoreless minutes. The reigning 2010 champions have advanced by beating Austria 3-0 and narrowly defeating Portugal 1-0 thanks to a late goal by Mikel Merino.
Belgium's path to this stage has been marked by resilience and firepower. They overcame a 2-0 deficit against Senegal in the round of 32 to win 3-2, with Youri Tielemans scoring the decisive goal. Most recently, Belgium overwhelmed the United States with a 4-1 victory, celebrating their final goal with a notable dance. Charles De Ketelaere and Romelu Lukaku each scored twice in that match. Lukaku now has three goals in this tournament and eight across all his World Cup appearances, tying Diego Maradona’s record.
