Merino seals Spain's 2-1 win over Belgium, setting up France semi-final

Spain beat Belgium 2-1 in the World Cup quarter-final and will face France in the semi-finals. Substitute Mikel Merino scored the decisive 88th-minute goal after goalkeeper Senne Lammens — who replaced the injured Thibaut Courtois — dropped the ball. Belgium lost two key players in the second half, which proved fatal to their chances.
