Merino Sends Spain to Quarters with Late Goal

Coming off the bench, Merino connected with a brilliant pass from fellow substitute Ferran to score the decisive goal in the dying moments of the match. The Arsenal player, who had been dealing with a rare foot injury, secured Spain's place in the last eight with his clinical finish.

Spain will now face either USA or Belgium in the quarter-finals on Friday in Los Angeles, with the match scheduled for 21:00 local time and broadcast on La1 and Dazn. The victory marked a significant moment as it ended Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup campaign. chickenroadslot.lat
