In order to advance to this highly-anticipated showdown, Spain took down Austria 3-0 at SoFi Stadium. Forward Mikel Oyarzabal led the way scoring two goals for La Roja.
“The great teams step up when it’s needed,” Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente noted. “We played a great match. We came close to perfection, but we must keep improving. There is always room for improvement, because every upcoming match will be very difficult.”
He’s not wrong; Portugal is a formidable opponent.
Although they had a respectable but not great 1-2-0 group stage record, A Seleçã impressed with their clutch 2-1 round of 32 win over Croatia.
Ronaldo scored his first-ever knockout round goal, Goncalo Ramos thumped a header in stoppage time and the club pulled out the victory when Croatia’s Mario Palasic was called offside and VAR overruled a goal for Vatreni.
Monday’s match will be the third time these Iberian neighbors meet in the World Cup. Their prior showdowns include Spain’s 1-0 victory in 2010 and a 3-3 draw in the 2018 group stage.
Yes, Ronaldo played in both of those matches (and scored a hat trick in ’18).
Will the third time be a charm for CR7 against Spain?
While we can’t say for certain, we do know the best way to find out is live and in person.
We’ll see you there, La Furia Roja y Benficas.
