Merino Sends Spain to Quarters with Last-Minute Goal

With Spain on the brink of elimination, Mikel Merino emerged as the hero once again, just as he did in Euro 2024 against Germany. The Arsenal player, who had recently returned from a rare foot injury, scored with his left foot in the dying moments of the match to secure a dramatic victory. newsbetting.bond

Ferran Torres provided the assist with an extraordinary pass into the area as the clock reached 90 minutes. This goal not only eliminated Portugal and ended Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup campaign but also secured Spain's place in the quarter-finals where they will face either the USA or Belgium next Friday in Los Angeles.
