Spain’s stout defense goes head-to-head with Belgium’s red-hot attack in a World Cup quarterfinal that pits an impenetrable wall against an almost unstoppable force.
Spain is chasing its first semifinal appearance since its 2010 triumph, earning a spot with a dramatic 91st-minute winner from Mikel Merino against Portugal. La Roja has yet to concede a goal in the tournament and became the first team to reach this stage without allowing a goal since Italy in 1990. Belgium arrives in peak form, after a 4-1 thumping of the United States in the Round of 16, powered by two goals from Charles De Ketelaere and single strikes from Romelu Lukaku and Hans Vanaken, continuing a run of three consecutive matches with at least three goals. It’s Belgium’s first quarterfinal since finishing third in 2018, and they aim to push toward a first World Cup title, though the all-time record heavily favors Spain: Spain holds a 5-0 advantage over Belgium, including a 5-0 win in 2009 World Cup qualifying. Expect to see Mikel Oyarzabal and Lamine Yamal for Spain, and Lukaku and Leandro Trossard for Belgium, with both goalkeepers—Unai Simón for Spain and Thibaut Courtois for Belgium—busy so far in the tournament.
