The WM 2026 round of 16 is heating up: two more quarter-finalists were decided since Monday evening – and with the USA out, all three co-hosts are gone. Tonight the last two round-of-16 ties will settle the final eight.
Portugal 0:1 Spain (Dallas)
The Iberian derby turned into a patience test – until Mikel Merino struck in stoppage time (91'). Portugal threw everything forward, Spain kept a clean sheet and reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2010. Tipped exactly 0:1 with Spain as winner and full time after 90 minutes? That's all six points in the round of 16.
USA 1:4 Belgium (Seattle)
After all the pre-match noise around Folarin Balogun, the USMNT were beaten convincingly on the pitch. De Ketelaere scored twice, Vanaken and Lukaku added the rest – 1:4 after 90 minutes. All three co-hosts (Canada, Mexico, USA) are now out. Got the scoreline exactly right with Belgium as winner and full time after 90 minutes? Six points for you too.
