Spain secured a 1-0 victory over Uruguay in the World Cup group stage, sending Marcelo Bielsa's side home early. The decisive goal came from Alex Baena, who capitalized on a glaring mistake by Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera. Muslera mishandled the ball, presenting Baena with an easy tap-in. The defeat means Uruguay fails to advance to the knockout rounds, a result described as disgraceful. Bielsa's team now exits the tournament after a disappointing campaign.
