Reigning European champions through to quarter-finals after tense match with Portugal in Dallas
Spain defeated Portugal 1-0 in Dallas, with Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino scoring a stoppage-time winner to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career ended in disappointment, with the Al Nassr forward offering little attacking threat throughout the match.
Coach Roberto Martinez controversially kept Ronaldo on for the full game whilst leaving Gonçalo Ramos, who scored the winner against Croatia, unused on the bench.
Spain will face either Belgium or co-hosts the United States in the quarter-finals, continuing their campaign as reigning European champions.
