REIMS, FRANCE—Megan Rapinoe converted a pair of penalty kicks and the United States set up a much-anticipated quarterfinal meeting with host France at the Women’s World Cup with a 2-1 victory over Spain on Monday. Rapinoe’s first came in the seventh minute to the cheers of U.S. supporters melting in temperatures that reached nearly 90 F at the Stade Auguste-Delaune. They were quieted a short time later when Jennifer Hermoso tied it up for Spain with the first goal the Americans had allowed in France.
