Spain continues to make steady progress inthe 2026 World Cup by winning first place in Group H . The selection led by Luis de la Fuentehas won 0-1 to Uruguay.

Alex Baenascored the only goal of the match , taking advantage of a mistake by Muslera in the first half.

The match has been very contested and physical . Spain has haddifficulties\u00A0  to create clear occasions, with slow ball circulation and little influence from players like Lamine Yamal or Pedri. Uruguay, led by Marcelo Bielsa, has raised a very intense match, with a lot of pressure and a lot of fighting in the middle of the field.

 

In the second half, the match has become even tougher,with few goals\u00A0 . De la Fuente's team has hadopportunities    to sentence the match, but has not been fine in the last pass, while Uruguay has fought until the last moment  for the tie, which would have allowed it to stay alive, but it has not succeeded and has been eliminated.

Despite not offering the best version, Spain has been able to resist, seize its opportunity and secure victory, even if it leaves some doubts in the game.

 

Meanwhile, Cape Verde has lived ahistoric day , as the African team has managed to qualify for the final sixteen in its first World Cup after a 0-0 draw againstSaudi Arabia , a team led by Bubista that has not lost in the group stage and has managed to beat its high-level rivals.

In Group G, Belgium has been able to react at the key moment. After two ties, the Belgians have won their first championship victory  againstNew Zealand by winning 1-5 . Leandro Trossard has led the victory with two goals, while the goals of Kevin De Bruyn and Romelu Lukaku  have rounded the victory.

Egypt, for its part, has secured its ranking after a 1-1 draw againstIran . The match has been full of excitement until the last moment, as the Iranians have been close to winning in the last few minutes, but the VAR has invalidated a goal out of play and a punch to the larghill has prevented a comeback.
