Uruguay failed to secure a victory against Cape Verde, who played with high intensity similar to their previous match against Spain. The African team managed to equalize twice against Bielsa's squad, resulting in a draw. Consequently, Uruguay must now defeat Spain in their final encounter to claim the top spot in Group H. This result is critical as the group winner will potentially face Argentina in the next stage. Such a matchup depends on Argentina finishing first or second in their own group. The outcome of the Uruguay-Spain match will therefore define a key path for the tournament's progression.
