SPAIN – IVORY COAST (1am Pacific Time, NBCOlympics.com and NBCSN)

Both teams suffered until the last second to be in this round. The draws to one they achieved in their last matches made them one goal away from being eliminated, but both go to a few quarters and will play in Miyagi a match in which Spain is expected to dominate the ball. That is the hallmark of the team led by Luis de la Fuente, as well as, unfortunately, the lack of a goal.

With their physical might and defensive strength, the Africans will seek to surprise.

SOUTH KOREA – MEXICO (4 am Pacific Time, NBCOlympics.com and Telemundo)

Diego LaĆ­nez, from Betis, dazzled in the debut and they won 4-1 against France, but they could not with Japan (1-2) and beat South Africa (0-3) on the last day to get into the quarterfinals. La Tri will face a South Korea that in its group came out not to speculate. ten goals scored in two games – they lost 1-0 against New Zealand.
