Spain Defeats Uruguay 1-0 to Top Group H at FIFA World Cup 2026PreviousNext

In the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group H finale, Spain secured top spot with a 1-0 win over Uruguay at Estadio Akron, Guadalajara. Spain led the group with seven points after two wins and a draw, while Uruguay, needing a victory to advance, were eliminated with two points following draws against Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde. Spain's Alex Baena scored the decisive goal, and despite Uruguay's efforts, they failed to progress, with Cape Verde advancing alongside Spain. Both teams featured key players, and the match was highly anticipated given their World Cup histories.
