At halftime of this Round of 16 match at the 2026 World Cup, Portugal and Spain remain deadlocked (0-0) in Dallas.

Both teams created some excellent chances, with Spain's forward Oyarzabal leading the charge. La Roja looked dangerous, but the Portuguese more than held their own in this high-stakes encounter.

Possession was fairly even, and Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon had to stay alert against a powerful strike and an unorthodox follow-up from Cristiano Ronaldo.

0-0 at the break!
