Spain win a World Cup quarterfinal against Belgium 2-1, with Mikel Merino scoring in the 88th minute. The decisive moment comes after Belgium makes a late change in goal. Substitute goalkeeper Senne Lammens is involved in an error that allows Spain to seize on the rebound. Sources describe the goal as a late, match-deciding strike: Merino pounces on the mistake and finishes after the ball comes loose following Lammens’ intervention. The BBC and Stuff both state that the goal is scored in the 88th minute and that Merino benefits from the rebound created by Lammens. The remaining outlets also frame the incident as a late goalkeeper howler that leaves Spain with the winning opportunity. After Merino’s goal, Spain advance to the World Cup semi-finals. All accounts agree on the scorers’ key role, the timing of the winning goal, the involvement of Senne Lammens, and Spain’s overall 2-1 victory.
