In a move at the end of the match, Ferran Torres, Barcelona forward, found a sweet pass and left Merino face to face with the Portuguese goalkeeper, which guaranteed the team's advancement in the World Cup.
Belgium, who even before taking the field against the United States, faced the organization of the event, by not agreeing to the removal of the red card of the player Folarin Balogun, who was a starter for the host team, but was unable to help them.
On the field, the Belgian generation thrashed the North American team 4-1, with a positive highlight for Atalanta's attacking midfielder, De Ketelaere, who scored twice and consolidated the hosts' elimination from that tournament.
