La selecci\u00f3n espa\u00f1ola se clasific\u00f3 para las semifinales del Mundial tras imponerse por 2-1 a B\u00e9lgica en un intenso encuentro de cuartos de final. El equipo dirigido por Luis de la Fuente encontr\u00f3 el gol sobre la hora, tal como sucedi\u00f3 en octavos con Portugal y por intermedio de Mikel Merino, el mismo jugador que se encarg\u00f3 de darle el triunfo a la \u00a8Roja\u00bb ante el equipo de Cristiano Ronaldo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Espa\u00f1a abri\u00f3 el marcador en la primera mitad, a los 29, mediante Fabi\u00e1n Ruiz, quien aprovech\u00f3 una oportunidad dentro del \u00e1rea para adelantar a la escuadra espa\u00f1ola. Sin embargo, la respuesta belga no tard\u00f3 en llegar y a los 40\u00b4, Charles De Ketelaere igual\u00f3 el encuentro con un remate de cabeza .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En el segundo tiempo, ambos equipos buscaron el gol de la victoria con ocasiones propicias en ambas \u00e1reas. Cuando el partido parec\u00eda encaminarse hacia la pr\u00f3rroga, Mikel Merino apareci\u00f3 en el minuto 88 para marcar el 2-1 definitivo tras aprovechar un rechazo deficiente del guardameta belga Senne Lammens que hab\u00eda entrado a los 60 minutos por una lesi\u00f3n de Thibaut Courtois. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Con este triunfo, Espa\u00f1a sella su pase a las semifinales del Mundial, donde se enfrentar\u00e1 a Francia en busca de un puesto en la gran final. Es. adem\u00e1s, un triunfo hist\u00f3rico porque pone a Espa\u00f1a en las semifinales de una Copa del Mundo despu\u00e9s de 16 a\u00f1os sin lograrlo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
