Substitute Merino Wins It Again For Spain To Set Up France Semi
INGLEWOOD (California), July 11 (Bernama-dpa) -- Substitute Mikel Merino popped up again to send European champions Spain into a World Cup semi-final with favourites France after a 2-1 win over injury-hit Belgium on Friday, reported German Press Agency (dpa).
Fabián Ruiz had given Spain the lead on 30 minutes before Charles De Ketelaere equalised, meaning Unai Simón conceded for the first time in a record 649 World Cup minutes spread over two tournaments.
Merino, just like in the last-16 win over Portugal, came off the bench and soon netted on 88 minutes after a mistake from Belgium reserve keeper Senne Lammens.
The mouth-watering meeting with the French near Dallas on Tuesday will be a repeat of the Euro 2024 semi won by La Roja, whose only World Cup title was in 2010.
France, 1998 and 2018 winners who were runners-up to Argentina four years ago, know they will face their most difficult opponents so far after Spain dominated a Belgian side shorn of two key midfielders in Los Angeles County.
Belgium were hit by captain Youri Tielemans having to pull out of the game during the warm-up with an apparent hamstring problem, adding to Amadou Onana's absence after a knee ligament tear.
An injury to a tearful Thibaut Courtois on 71 minutes led to Manchester United's Lammens entering the fray in the Belgium goal.
Spain managed to exploit that after the additions of Nico Williams and Merino. Lammens spilled a long-range effort from Pau Cubarsi and Arsenal's Merino did the rest into the roof of the net.
