Spain advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Portugal, bringing Cristiano Ronaldo’s final World Cup campaign to an end. The only goal of the Round of 16 clash came in the closing stages, securing Spain’s place in the last eight. Portugal pushed for an equaliser but failed to break through, ending their World Cup journey. The 41-year-old Ronaldo, who had confirmed before the tournament that the 2026 World Cup would be his last, made his final appearance on football’s biggest stage as Portugal were eliminated. The defeat marked the end of an era for one of the greatest players in the history of the World Cup.
