Spain vs Belgium LIVE | ESP vs BEL, FIFA World Cup 2026 LIVE Score Updates, straight from Los Angeles Stadium:
Spain vs Belgium LIVE: Another crucial block! Handball appeal denied
A brilliant long ball from deep by Spain towards Alex Baena in the box, whose shot is blocked by Belgian defender Nathan Ngoy. Baena appeals for a handball but it's not given. Replays do show the ball possibly coming off Ngoy's arm. It's a close call in terms of offside too for Baena.

Spain vs Belgium LIVE: Chance for Spain, blocked by Belgium
First real opportunity for Spain! It's a direct free-kick on the left wing, and Spain fizz in a powerful low shot. That is defended well by Belgium, and then the ball falls to Rodri in the box who shoots hard but sees his attempt blocked.

Spain vs Belgium LIVE: Who will the winner face?
The winner of the Spain-Belgium quarter-final will face France in the FIFA World Cup semi-finals. France entered a third consecutive World Cup semi for the first time yesterday, beating Morocco 2-0 in their quarter-final clash.
Spain vs Belgium LIVE: New role for De Bruyne?
Kevin De Bruyne is back in Belgium's starting XI, but he may be in a new role today. With defensive midfielder Amadou Onana out of the World Cup due to injury, Belgium manager Rudi Garcia has opted to replace him with De Bruyne. As a result, we might see De Bruyne in a deep-lying playmaker role instead of natural attacking midfield role today.
Spain vs Belgium LIVE: Lamine Yamal chases massive record
Spain's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is on the cusp of a massive record. If he scores against Belgium, Yamal will become the youngest player to score a FIFA World Cup knockout goal in the 21st century. Overall, he would climb to third on the ladder, behind Pele (in 1958) and Michael Owen (in 1998).
Spain vs Belgium Live: Ageing like fine wine!
