Spain's 88th-minute winner ends Belgium's run and exposes a familiar weakness

Mikel Merino pounced on a late error from substitute Senne Lammens as Spain edged Belgium to reach the World Cup semifinals — and left Belgium's goalkeeping depth as the obvious post-mortem.

Desk note: Monexus framed this as a Spanish win earned through bench depth rather than attacking flair, and read the Lammens error as the structural Belgian story — the goalkeeping gamble, not the broader tactical contest, decided the night. The pre-match CBS Sports coverage is used to anchor the bookmaker and modelling consensus, which the result ultimately matched.
