   🇪🇸Spain 0–0 🇨🇻Cape Verde

   Twenty-seven shots. Eleven corners. Seventy-four percent of the ball. And nothing to show for any of it. Spain laid siege to the Cape Verde goal in Atlanta and found a goalkeeper having the night of his life, seven saves and not a single one he will forget. This was dominance without the only number that counts, an expected-goals edge of 2.29 to 0.3 that the scoreboard refused to honour. The performance was emphatic. The result was a lesson, filed early: the table only grades the chances you take.

   Full time · The Report A finishing clinic

   🇪🇸Spain 4–0 🇸🇦Saudi Arabia

   This was a finishing clinic dressed up as a group game. Lamine Yamal picked the lock in the tenth minute, and by the 24th Mikel Oyarzabal had scored twice in barely three first-half minutes to put it beyond reach. A Tambakti own goal early in the second half only underlined the gulf, Spain's expected goals reading 2.85 to Saudi Arabia's 0.14. Twenty-two shots, ninety-two percent passing, a side moving the ball like it owned the deed. Oyarzabal will not strike an easier brace all summer.

   🇪🇸Spain 1–0 🇺🇾Uruguay

   Spain did what the best sides do on quiet nights: controlled everything and took the one chance that mattered. Sixty-seven percent of the ball, and a first-half goal from Alex Baena — teed up by Marcos Llorente — was enough to see off a stubborn Uruguay. It was not a vintage performance, and an expected-goals line of 0.86 to 0.2 suggests neither side created in abundance, but Spain managed the game with the calm of a team that expects to win. Uruguay's late red card for Agustin Canobbio summed up their frustration. Job done, quietly.

   🇪🇸Spain 3–0 🇦🇹Austria

   Spain barely broke sweat and could have had six. The third seed had sixty-five percent of the ball, twenty-three shots and an expected-goals line of 2.84 to 0.32 — Austria never laid a glove on them. Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring before the break and added a third late, with Pedro Porro's strike sandwiched between; only a six-save night from the Austria goalkeeper kept it respectable. This was control from first minute to last. Spain move into the last sixteen looking every inch a contender.

   🇪🇸Spain 1–0 🇵🇹Portugal

   The derby everyone feared to call went to Spain in the very last minute. Mikel Merino arrived to finish Ferran Torres's cross a minute into stoppage time, settling a taut, cagey affair the way these ties so often turn — on a single moment. Spain had carried the greater threat throughout and deserved the edge, but a Portugal side this good was never going quietly. One swing of Merino's boot decides an Iberian classic. Spain are through to the quarter-finals.

   Full time · The Report Merino, late again, sends Spain through

   🇪🇸Spain 2–1 🇧🇪Belgium

   Spain got there in the end, and got there the way they have before — through Mikel Merino, late. Fabián Ruiz's first-half opener was cancelled out by Charles De Ketelaere, and for a while a dominant Spain looked like paying for their wastefulness, until Merino struck two minutes from time to settle it. Two-thirds of the ball and the better of the chances finally counted. Belgium played their part and can hold their heads high, but Spain go marching on. The semi-finals await.
