Uruguay 0 - 1 Spain

URUGUAY CRASH OUT OF THE 2026 WORLD CUP!

Spain edges 10-man Uruguay 1-0 to top the group, with debutants Cape Verde also advancing to the last 32.

Baena's first-half strike proved decisive, a moment veteran goalkeeper Muslera will want to forget after his costly error and heartbreaking halftime withdrawal.

Chances were scarce, with Uruguay's xG at just 0.20 and Spain's at 0.86.

The second half turned ugly, highlighted by Canobbio's wild, studs-up lunge on Cubarsi and the ensuing confrontation with the referee.

Olmo blazed over and Ferran clipped the bar as Spain pushed for another, but ultimately didn't need it.

Marcelo Bielsa's future looks deeply uncertain as the two-time world champions suffer back-to-back group-stage exits.

Luis de la Fuente's Spain now prepares for a tie with the runners-up of Group J.

That's all from us.

RED CARD!

It's been coming!

Canobbio is dismissed for Uruguay after flying into Cubarsi with studs showing.

It's a straight red, and then he lays hands on the referee, grabbing his shirt.

Ugly scenes here, and Uruguay is heading out of the 2026 World Cup with their tails between their legs.

N. de la Cruz Uruguay Uruguay · Midfielder · #7

YELLOW CARD!

De la Cruz races back and cynically impedes the fresh legs of Williams.

Canobbio then steams in as the Spain substitute is not happy with the challenge, and the referee has some sorting out to do.

90+1'

Uruguay 0 - 1 Spain

Just five minutes of added time here.

It's now or never for Uruguay!

90'

Uruguay 0 - 1 Spain

INQUEST!

Uruguay finally pushes bodies forward.

After some neat play from Canobbio, Nunez tries another needless back-heel that doesn't help his side.

The ball breaks kindly, though, with Vinas trying to shield it from the onrushing Olmo and appealing for a penalty.

However, the substitute initiated the contact, and play continues.

88'

Uruguay 0 - 1 Spain

Uruguay has to flood bodies forward now; they have nothing to lose.

A goal simply has to come, or they'll crash out at the first hurdle for the second straight World Cup.

86'

Uruguay 0 - 1 Spain

CHANCES!

De la Cruz, who has been a livewire all night, lashes a shot at goal for Uruguay, but Simon beats it away.

Spain then surges upfield, and after a wonderful give-and-go between Ferran and Ruiz, the Barcelona man has the goal at his mercy.

He shapes for a low finish but instead whips it toward the top-left corner, and it has just too much height, clipping the bar on its way over.

84'

Uruguay 0 - 1 Spain

Uruguay is unlucky not to get a foul on the far side as De la Cruz tries to create another chance.

The substitute threads a pass forward to Bentancur, but Cucurella stops the Tottenham man.

Nunez then races in from an offside position, and the flag goes up — instead of for the clear foul that occurred.

82'

Uruguay 0 - 1 Spain

BEATEN AWAY!

Olivera registers Uruguay's first shot on target, though it's an accidental cross-shot.

It almost catches Simon out at his near post, forcing the Spain keeper to palm it behind for a corner.

He's taking no chances!
