FT: SPAIN 1-1 ARGENTINA

Spain controlled the ball from minute one, as expected.

And they finally found a breakthrough after some brilliant play between Asensio and Olmo.

Asensio floated a cross towards the far post, finding the RB Leipzig midfield.

Olmo - with his first touch - teed up Merino, and the Spain captain swept the ball into the bottom-left corner.

Argentina were shocked into life and started to threaten Simon's goal.

And with five minutes to go Belmonte met a beautifully delivered corner to head home the equaliser.

But we didn't get the action-packed grand-stand finish we'd all hoped for.

PEEEEEEEEEEP!

THE REFEREE BLOWS THE FULL-TIME WHISTLE!

SPAIN ARE THROUGH TO THE KNOCKOUT STAGES!

AND ARGENTINA ARE OUT!

85. The corner is whipped towards the edge of the six yard box, Belmonte makes his way through a crowded penalty area.

The Argentine leaps well to meet the cross and plants the ball into the back of the net!

Simon got a slight hand on the ball, but it counts nonetheless.

Argentina NEED to score here.... we could be in for a grand finale!
