Spain ended Portugal’s World Cup adventure and Cristiano Ronaldo’s career on the most gilded stage in football.
A precise finish from Mikel Merino in the first minute of stoppage time sealed a 1-0 victory after a game of few chances looked certain to be heading for extra time. Spain will face the winners of today’s game between the United States and Belgium.
Ronaldo, 41, said before this game that this would be his final World Cup and, if that is the case, it was a muted farewell for one of football’s greatest of all time. There were tears from Ronaldo as he left the field at the end of the game.
