Spain midfielder Mikel Merino scored an injury-time winner as the European champions beat Iberian rivals Portugal in a tense last-16 encounter to book a place in the quarter-finals and end Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup career.
Merino broke the deadlock in the first minute of time added on at the AT&T Stadium outside Dallas to send the Spaniards into a last-eight clash against either Belgium or the United States in Los Angeles on Friday.
