THE LEAD

By Pranay Vatsa

What began as a dispute over a singer's mural under a Guwahati flyover ended with the Chief Minister of Assam naming the fugitive chief of a banned secessionist outfit as the state's answer to Che Guevara. Here is what the remark means, who Paresh Baruah is, and why the controversy is bigger than the paint on the wall

Spain vs Belgium Match Gallery, FIFA World Cup 2026: Spain secured a dramatic 2–1 victory over Belgium in their quarter-final at Los Angeles Stadium. Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring for Spain in the 30th minute with a deflected finish, but Charles De Ketelaere equalised for Belgium with a header before halftime. The match remained a tense tactical battle until the 71st minute, when Belgium’s veteran goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was forced off with an injury. The introduction of Senne Lammens as the replacement proved decisive when, in the 88th minute, he spilt a long-ranger from Pau Cubarsí, allowing Mikel Merino -- Spain's "super sub" -- to tap in the winning goal. With the win, La Roja reached their first World Cup semi-final since 2010, setting up a blockbuster clash against France in Dallas. Belgium’s exit marked an emotional end for their golden generation.
