Who do Spain play next in the Olympic Games soccer quarterfinals?

Spain suffered a shock loss to an impressive Egypt team in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

La Rojita lost in a shock result to a spirited Egypt side, who overcame them 2-0 at Matmut Atlantique stadium, Bordeaux.

Ahead of the final group game, Spain already knew that they would be through, having won 2 games from 2 so far.

However, perhaps they did not anticipate a hugely motivated Egypt side, who saw Ibrahim Adel score once in each half before the side played the clock down to perfection. Spain’s second half changes failed to ignite things on the pitch. As a result, the Africans finished top of Group C.

Given the loss, Spain will finish second in the group, and will play Japan in the next round. A win would have seen them finish top and consequently avoid the in-form Asian side, but it was not to be.

Japan, at the time of writing, have won 2 from 2 and look in fantastic form. They have scored 6 goals and are yet to concede at all.

Along with Japan, it is Paraguay with 3 points in the driving seat as they sit in second place, ahead of Mali and Israel, both on a single point.
