Spain defeated Uruguay 1-0 after a goalkeeping mistake by Fernando Muslera, advancing to the knockout stage while eliminating the South American powerhouse. Álex Baena scored the only goal in the 42nd minute, assisted by Marcos Llorente, after Muslera failed to fully stop his shot from inside the area. It was the third blunder of the tournament by the 40-year-old Muslera, who was pulled at halftime by coach Marcelo Bielsa. The second half turned ugly, capped by Canobbio's wild studs-up lunge on Cubarsi and a confrontation with the referee, resulting in a straight red card in injury time. Spain topped Group H with seven points and will face the runners-up from Group J in Inglewood, California, while Uruguay crashed out without a single win in their three group games.
