Spain Dominates, Uruguay Struggles

Spain is flying high after a ruthless 4-0 demolition of Saudi Arabia, locking them into a near-lock guarantee of advancing from the group stage. With four points and a stellar goal difference, they’re just one win away from topping the group — even a draw could do the trick, barring a massive Cabo Verde upset. Uruguay, meanwhile, faces a nightmare scenario: they must beat Spain or at least match Cabo Verde’s result to avoid an early exit. Historically, Spain holds the edge with five wins in ten meetings, and Uruguay’s recent slump — winless this year and crushed by the U.S. — makes facing La Roja’s current momentum a daunting task.

Young winger Désiré Doué added a late header, sealing the win for a French side that scored 10 and conceded just 2 across the group stage.
