GolVolt Recap

Spain stole a 1-0 victory over Portugal in Arlington to survive the Round of 16. A scoreless stalemate exploded into life at the absolute death. Mikel Merino delivered the fatal blow with a 91st-minute strike, punishing a Portuguese side that lost their discipline exactly when they needed it most. Bernardo Silva took an 89th-minute yellow card just before the goal, and Renato Veiga followed him into the referee's book at 90+4. Ferran Torres picked up a final caution at 90+8, but Spain had already booked their ticket.
