Portugal vs. Spain: How to Watch the World Cup Round of 16 Match Live
The Round of 16 at the World Cup features a thrilling encounter between Portugal and Spain, two neighboring European nations with rich football histories. They've met 41 times before, mostly in friendlies, but their latest showdown ended with Portugal defeating Spain on penalties in the 2025 UEFA Nations League Finals.
Spain arrives here after a commanding 3-0 victory over Austria, powered by Mikel Oyarzabal’s brace. Portugal bounced back from an early second-half deficit to edge Austria 2-1, thanks to a penalty by Cristiano Ronaldo and a late goal from Gonçalo Ramos.
The winner advances to the quarterfinals. Portugal reached this stage in 2022 but lost to Morocco, while Spain last made it to the final eight in 2010, eventually winning the tournament that year.
