Spain vs Belgium: How to Watch the World Cup Quarterfinal Live

The quarterfinal match between Spain and Belgium promises a battle of contrasting styles. Spain’s defense has been nearly flawless, having not conceded a goal yet in the tournament. They secured their spot with a late winner by Mikel Merino against Portugal. Spain aims to reach the semifinals for the first time since winning the title in 2010.

On the other side, Belgium’s offense has been red hot, demolishing the United States 4-1 in the Round of 16. Charles De Ketelaere scored twice in that match, while Romelu Lukaku and Hans Vanaken also found the net. The Red Devils have netted at least three goals in each of their last three games and are third in total goals scored behind France and Argentina.

This marks Belgium's first quarterfinal since their third-place finish in 2018. They are hungry to push closer to their first World Cup trophy. Yet Spain holds the edge in past meetings, having won all five encounters, including a 5-0 victory during 2009 World Cup qualifiers.

Key Players to Watch

• Spain: Mikel Oyarzabal (four goals), Lamine Yamal
• Belgium: Romelu Lukaku (three goals), Leandro Trossard

Both teams’ goalkeepers, Unai Simon for Spain and Thibaut Courtois for Belgium, have faced plenty of action throughout the tournament.
