Spain to face Belgium in World Cup quarter-final

Spain will meet Belgium on Friday night in Los Angeles with a place in the World Cup semi-finals on the line. The European champions are heavy favorites against a Belgium side led by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The match kicks off at 8pm UK time at SoFi Stadium. Spain enter the game unbeaten in their last 35 matches and have yet to concede a goal in the tournament.

Belgium will rely on Courtois, who has spent eight years at Real Madrid. Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon praised the 34-year-old, saying his physique and skill make him difficult to beat.

Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans and Courtois both expressed confidence in their team's chances despite the underdog status. Coach Rudi Garcia must adjust after Amadou Onana suffered an ACL injury.

Spain boss Luis de la Fuente is expected to name an unchanged side from their previous win.
