06.07.2026The Day Merino's Last-Gasp Goal Sent Spain to World Cup Quarters

The day was dominated by Spain's World Cup round of 16 match against Portugal, which ended in a dramatic 1-0 victory after Mikel Merino scored in the 90th minute. From early afternoon, sports outlets built anticipation around De la Fuente's unchanged lineup, and live coverage saturated headlines through the evening, with near-misses and a Nuno Mendes injury heightening tension. The winning goal triggered a cascade of celebratory headlines across all major outlets, overshadowing other stories. Earlier, political polls showing the left at a half-century low and Feijóo's promise of a 'law of the unborn conceived' drew attention, but these were eclipsed by the match. The 'cloacas' case and judicial decisions on Begoña Gómez's travel also surfaced but failed to compete with the football narrative.
