SPAIN had knocked-out Portugal in the Last 16 to reach the quarter-finals. They had to play BELGIUM who beat co-hosts USA in their last game. I only managed to watch the first half, but both teams came out fighting, and it was great to see that. Spain scored their first goal from Fabian Ruiz in the 30th minute after a shot was saved by the Belgium goalkeeper only to go straight to Ruiz. A well taken goal. It was not long before Belgium equalised from De Ketelaere, his third goal of the tournament, in the 41st minute from a lovely set piece. That was the first goal scored against Spain in this tournament. The score stayed at 1-1 at the end of the first half.
Spain scored again in the second half as Mikel Merino makes it 2-1 in the 88th minute. The score finished 2-1 to Spain. Spain will play France in the Semi-Finals and they are on a total of 11 goals. Belgium go home with 14 goals.
