Uruguay vs Spain - Live Updates
First Half Timeline
- 1' - Kick-off: We're underway in one of the most anticipated encounters of the group stage, with two former World Cup champions going head-to-head. With each position still up for grabs in Group H, we're set for a sensational night of soccer in Mexico (and in Houston too, where Cape Verde take on Saudi Arabia).
- 2' - Shaky start at the back: Uruguay almost gift Spain the perfect start, but Fernando Muslera palms away Mikel Oyarzabal's effort for a corner.
- 8' - Corner-fest: Spain are awarded their third already, and Lamine Yamal is quick to try and rev the Spanish supporters up, gesturing with his hands for them to raise the volume at Estadio Guadalajara.
- 11' - Fast and furious: You can't deny that Uruguay are up for the challenge. They are chasing down every ball, not giving the Spanish players a moments peace. But can they maintain the high energy pursuit?
- 15' - Getting heated in Houston: Over in the other Group H clash in Texas, Wagner Pina (Cape Verde) and Saud Abdulhamid (Saudi Arabia) both received yellow cards inside the first 10 minutes.
- 22' - La Celeste craving a win: Uruguay headed into this encounter at Estadio Guadalajara on an untimely run of six matches without a victory. To further add to the difficulty, Spain haven’t tasted defeat in normal time, since losing 1-0 to Colombia in a friendly in London in March 2024. That’s a remarkable run of 32 games unbeaten and counting.
- 29' - Keepers need to be tested: Still awaiting our first shot on target in the match. Uruguay haven't even had a shot off target as yet. Don't worry you're not missing much in Houston either. It's goalless between Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia too, with again, no shots on target to speak of.
- 36' - Long distance effort: Tottenham Hotspur's Rodrigo Bentancur goes for glory from 35 yards out, but the ball fizzes over the crossbar.
- 42 - GOAL! Uruguay 0-1 Spain (Álex Baena): It's misery for Fernando Muslera, as the Uruguay keeper fumbles an effort from Alex Baena, and the ball bobbles into the corner.
- 45'+8' - Half-Time: The referee brings the first-half to an end in Mexico and Uruguay trail Spain in a match they must win. Can Marcelo Bielsa mastermind a miraculous comeback or will their World Cup dream be over? Stay tuned to find out.

Second Half Timeline
- 46' - Kick-off: We're underway again at Estadio Akron / Estadio Guadalajara in Mexico. As we currently stand, Spain will top Group H, Cape Verde will go through as runners-up and both Uruguay and Saudi Arabia are exiting the World Cup. We still have 45 minutes to go though and anything can change before the final whistle(s) blow. Marcelo Bielsa has made a bold move, nothing new there then, as he subs off keeper, Fernando Muslera, with Sergio Rochet replacing him.
- 54' - Tackles flying in now: Canobbio was fortunate to not get a card for his challenge on Pedri moments earlier, but Juan Manuel Sanabria deservedly goes into the ref's notepad after sliding through on Lamine Yamal.
- 58' - Bielsa making some bold decisions: Valverde OFF, Vinas ON.... Well, well, well! Varela is next to get carded for Uruguay. Starting to get a bit tasty out there.
- 62' - Spain freshen things up: A double change with Pedri and Mikel Morino replaced by Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo.
- 64' - Should have been 2-0: Dani Olmo almost makes an instant impact, but he fails to connect properly after being found in the box by Lamine Yamal.
- 70' - Full on attack: Uruguay can't afford to hold back now and Brian Rodriguez comes on for Juan Manuel Sanabria.
- 76' - Lamine leaves the scene: Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal are replaced by Ferran Torres and Nico Williams.
- 84' - Spain happy to spray the ball about: The onus is on Uruguay to keep the pressure on, but they can't get hold of the ball. Still goalless in Houston between Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia.
- 85' - De La Cruz shoots from far out: First shot on target of the game for Uruguay, but Unai Simón comfortably saves.
- 90'+5' - Full-Time: A fiery end to proceedings, with Canobbio red-carded and bedlam on the sidelines. Unfortunately, that is that for Uruguay. Their winless streak extends to seven matches, which means their World Cup journey is over. So it's Spain who top Group H and amazingly, Cape Verde go through as group runners-up. Saudi Arabia finish bottom and must pack their bags too.

Group H Scenarios
The winner of Group H will play the Runner-up of Group J in the Round of 32. Because Argentina has already locked up the top spot in Group J, this opponent will be either Austria or Algeria, depending on who wins their straight shootout in the final group stage matches.
Finishing second comes with a massive penalty in this bracket. The runner-up of Group H is locked into a heavyweight clash against the Winner of Group J. This means a confirmed, high-stakes knockout match against Argentina in Miami on July 3.
If either team slips to third place but still advances as one of the eight "best third-place" teams, their opponent will depend on the final combination of advancing third-place teams. They will be slotted against one of three formidable group winners: Mexico (confirmed winners of Group A, playing in Mexico City), England (Current leaders of Group L) or Egypt or Iran (whoever manages to top Group G).
In today's other Group H game, Cabo Verde take on Saudi Arabia.To watch both Group H games at once, check out GOAL's guide to watching two World Cup games simultaneously.

Uruguay vs Spain Match Preview
Uruguay and Spain meet at Guadalajara Stadium in Zapopan, Jalisco, in the final Group H fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This is a Matchday 3 showdown with knockout qualification on the line for both sides.
Spain arrive at this fixture in commanding shape. Luis de la Fuente's side put four past Saudi Arabia on Matchday 2, with Lamine Yamal opening the scoring in the 10th minute before Mikel Oyarzabal added a first-half brace. That result put Spain top of Group H with four points and a +4 goal difference.
Uruguay's situation is far more precarious. Marcelo Bielsa was blunt in his assessment after watching his side squander a 2-1 lead against Cape Verde, eventually settling for a 2-2 draw that left him calling his team "highly disorganised". La Celeste sit second in the group on two points, level with Cape Verde on both points and goal difference.
Bielsa's men need a result. A win would send Uruguay through as group winners or runners-up. A defeat, depending on the Cape Verde vs Saudi Arabia result, could eliminate them entirely. Spain, for their part, can secure top spot with a win and would still advance in most draw scenarios.
The tactical contest promises to be compelling. Spain will look to Yamal's direct running and Oyarzabal's movement to stretch a Uruguay backline that has shown defensive frailties. Bielsa will demand that Federico Valverde controls the midfield and that the team defends with far greater discipline than they showed against Cape Verde.
Uruguay Team News
Marcelo Bielsa has some major injury headaches to navigate. La Celeste will be without Barcelona center-back Ronald Araújo and playmaker Giorgian de Arrascaeta, who are both sidelined with calf injuries. Darwin Núñez is expected to return to the starting XI after coming off the bench against Cape Verde.
Spain Team News
Manager Luis de la Fuente has a fully healthy squad at his disposal. Following a dominant 4–0 win over Saudi Arabia, Spain is expected to field a strong lineup to secure the top spot in the group, with Nico Williams tipped to return to the starting wing opposite Lamine Yamal.
Form
Uruguay have taken one win, three draws, and one defeat from their last five matches, scoring five goals and conceding five. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-2 draw with Cape Verde on June 21, a result that followed a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia in their World Cup opener. Uruguay also drew 1-1 with England and played out a goalless stalemate with Algeria in pre-tournament friendlies. The low point of the sequence was a 5-1 defeat to the United States in November 2025.
Spain have recorded two wins, two draws, and one defeat across their last five outings, scoring six goals and conceding one. Their most recent result was the 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia on June 21, which followed an opening 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in the World Cup. Spain kept back-to-back clean sheets in friendlies against Egypt and Iraq before the tournament began.
Head-to-Head Record
The two sides have met twice in recorded head-to-head fixtures, both played as friendlies. The most recent came on February 6, 2013, when Spain beat Uruguay 3-1. Before that, Spain won 2-0 on August 17, 2005. Spain have won both meetings, scoring five goals and conceding one across the two fixtures.
