Cape Verde seal dream knockout berth, Uruguay crash out after Spain defeat

Spain topped Group H with a 1-0 win over Uruguay, secured by Álex Baena’s first-half goal after a costly Fernando Muslera error. Despite Uruguay’s late pressure and a few clear chances, Spain’s control and discipline proved decisive. The result sends Spain into the Round of 32 unbeaten, while Uruguay exit after a wasteful, inconsistent group-stage campaign.
