Portugal and Spain face off in a Round of 16 matchup that pits European neighbors and competition stalwarts against each other.
Not only do the two countries share a border, but they also share a football history. Spain and Portugal have played 41 matches against each other, though most have been friendlies. Most recently, the Portuguese took down the Spaniards on penalties in the 2025 UEFA Nations League Finals.
Both teams head into this clash with different momentum. Spain is coming off a dominating 3-0 win over Austria, led by Mikel Oyarzabal's two goals. On the Portuguese side, the Selecao shook off an early second-half deficit to come back and beat Austria 2-1 thanks to a penalty kick from Cristiano Ronaldo and a stoppage-time goal from Gonçalo Ramos.
The winner will head back to the quarterfinals, a place both sides have been to before. Portugal made the quarterfinals in 2022 before falling to Morocco, while Spain last made the final eight in 2010 when they won the entire tournament.
