Spain Advances to World Cup Knockouts After 1-0 Win Over UruguayPreviousNext

Spain defeated Uruguay 1-0 in a World Cup Group H match, securing the group win and advancing to the knockout stage. The only goal came from Alex Baena after a goalkeeping error by Uruguay's Fernando Muslera, who was substituted at halftime. Uruguay, a two-time World Cup champion, exited the tournament without a win amid reports of internal team tensions. Spain will face either Austria or Algeria in the next round in Los Angeles.
