Spain vs Belgium World Cup Quarterfinal: How to Watch, Kickoff Time, and Channels
Spain's tight defense meets Belgium's powerful offense in a World Cup quarterfinal that promises a battle between a sturdy backline and a prolific attack.
Spain secured its spot with a last-minute goal by Mikel Merino against Portugal, maintaining an unbroken streak of not conceding any goals so far in the tournament. This makes them the first team since Italy in 1990 to reach the quarterfinals without allowing a goal. La Roja aims to reach the semifinals for the first time since their 2010 championship run, having been eliminated in the Round of 16 in the last two World Cups.
Belgium's Momentum Builds After Big Win
Belgium comes into this match following a dominant 4-1 victory over the United States in the Round of 16. Charles De Ketelaere scored twice, while Romelu Lukaku and Hans Vanaken also contributed goals. The Red Devils have netted at least three goals in each of their last three games, ranking third in total goals scored in the tournament with 13, behind only France and Argentina.
This is Belgium’s first quarterfinal appearance since finishing third in 2018, as they chase their first-ever World Cup title.
Past encounters favor Spain, who have won all five meetings against Belgium, including a 5-0 win during 2009 World Cup qualifying.
Watch for key players like Mikel Oyarzabal (four goals) and Lamine Yamal for Spain, along with Lukaku (three goals) and Leandro Trossard for Belgium. Both teams’ goalkeepers, Unai Simon and Thibaut Courtois, have seen plenty of action.
