Spain secured a 1-0 victory over Uruguay in their final World Cup group stage match. Baena scored the decisive goal in the first half, with Cucurella delivering another strong performance in defense. This win ensures Luis de la Fuente's team progresses to the round of 16 as group leaders, maintaining an unbeaten record and a clean sheet for the third consecutive match. They will face either Austria or Algeria in the next stage.

Uruguay, despite captain Valverde's efforts, finished third in their group and is now eliminated from the tournament. Muslera could not save Baena's shot, and Valverde was later replaced by Viñas. Spain controlled possession throughout the highly contested game.
