Spanish Subs Send Spain to Quarters

Three Spanish substitutes created the goal that sent Spain to the quarter-finals against Belgium in the World Cup. Merino scored after receiving a pass from Ferran, who had received the ball from Fabián.

According to Opta, this is the first time since 2014 that a Spanish substitute has assisted another substitute in a World Cup match. Previously, this had only happened in 1982 when Quini assisted Saura against Yugoslavia. umafrika.club
