World Cup Update

Uruguay, ranked 19th in the FIFA rankings, is the highest-ranked team to be eliminated so far. Spain won the group with seven points and will face the second-place team from Group J on Thursday in Inglewood, California.

Álex Baena scored in the 42nd minute after Muslera couldn’t fully swat away 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.

Cape Verde finished second in the group with three points, one more than both Uruguay and Saudi Arabia. Uruguay finished third but without enough points to be among the best eight third-place teams that will advance.
