Coupe du monde 2026 : L’Espagne écarte la Belgique et donne rendez-vous à la France
Spain, the overwhelming favorite to win the title, has qualified for the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup. In the quarter-finals, La Roja dominated Belgium (2-1) after a hard-fought match.
Despite displaying good technical skill, the Spanish struggled for much of the match against a solid Belgian side. Fabian Ruiz gave his team the lead by opening the scoring in the 30th minute. But just before halftime, Charles de Ketelaere surprised the Spanish defense by equalizing with a superb glancing header (41st minute).
After the break, Spain took control of the ball and created several chances, notably through the bursts of speed from Lamine Yamal. In the 71st minute, Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was forced to leave the field due to injury.
As in the previous round against Portugal, La Roja's salvation came from the bench. Having already scored in the round of 16, Mikel Merino capitalized on a poor clearance by Lammens to score the winning goal in the 88th minute.
Thanks to this success, Spain secures its place in the semi-finals, where it will face France in a highly anticipated clash.
