fierce shot from an angle in the penalty area bounced off his white shirt and rattled the crossbar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Spain teed it up in an attempt to settle things in peacetime, but Portugal&#8217;s brave defense stopped Dani Olmo from breaking the deadlock late in the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">And it was Merino who appeared in the 91st minute to eliminate Portugal and Ronaldo.
