Spain booked their place in the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Portugal, thanks to Mikel Merino's stoppage-time winner. The late goal ended Portugal's campaign and marked the conclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup journey. Spain also remained the only team yet to concede a goal at the tournament and will now face Belgium in the quarterfinals. Despite scoring three goals in his sixth World Cup, Ronaldo bows out without ever reaching a World Cup final. #FIFAWorldCup #Spain #CristianoRonaldo
