Monday's Recaps

Spain 1, Portugal 0

It took until stoppage time, but Spain finally figured out Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa to advance to the quarterfinals.

Mikel Merino broke through the middle of the defense and found himself wide open before guiding the winning goal into the back of the net. It broke a defensive deadlock and ended Portugal's run in what was Cristiano Ronaldo's final World Cup.

Merino will get the headlines for the winner, but Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón and the defense were also brilliant to keep the opposition off the scoresheet.

In fact, it was the two goalkeepers and not Ronaldo or Lamine Yamal who controlled the first half and the majority of play.

Spain had more of the ball and created more chances in the early going, but Costa and the defense stood strong and kept the game scoreless into intermission. Simón was also tested with multiple shots on target from Ronaldo and another chance that deflected off the crossbar.

One of Ronaldo's shots seemed to be a perfectly placed flick of the ball destined for the back of the net, but Simón had other ideas with a diving stop.

Things then took a turn for the worse for Portugal early in the second half when Nuno Mendes exited with an injury. Considering he was a primary defender tasked with keep Yamal in check, the back end figured to be under fire the rest of the way with him sidelined.

Still, it was more of the same with the goalkeepers when Costa turned away Yamal's free kick before he punched away another effort off a Spain corner kick.

But it was just a matter of time before Spain broke through given all the pressure they continued to create, and Merino did just that with the winning goal.

Bernardo Silva nearly countered with his own goal and an equalizer right before the final whistle, but it wasn't meant to be for Portugal on Monday.
