Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia
Glenn Davis
Former USL soccer player on ITVSaudi Arabia are just trying to win second balls and smother Cape Verde around their own area. They are pushing their wing-backs very high into midfield.

Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia
Wagner Pina makes a brilliant recovery to block a goal-bound effort from Saudi Arabia captain Salem Al Dawsari from inside the area.
That was a crucial intervention from the Cape Verde defender.
'Spain need Yamal's magic'published at 01:21 BST
Uruguay 0-0 Spain
Charlie Adam
Former Scotland midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveSpain are thinking about getting the ball to Lamine Yamal as quickly as possible. That's how much trust they have in him. He has shown it already.
It's going to be a tough evening against Uruguay's back six and they will need a piece of magic.

Nearly...
Alex Baena slides the ball through to Mikel Oyarzabal inside the box, but Mathias Olivera manages to get in the way before he can shoot.

Uruguay 0-0 Spain
Pau Cubarsi jumps up to meet a corner but can't connect clearly with it.
Uruguay then turn the ball over quickly and spark a counter-attack, but final quality lets them down once again as they sloppily give the ball away.
Not long aftrer, Lamine Yamal has a speculative effor tblocked.

Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia
Just as I say that, Ryan Mendes storms into the final third with a powerful run.
He is unable to work an opening to cross the ball, but it is much better from Cape Verde.

Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia
Nothing to write home about so far.
The highlight so far has been seeing Vozinha’s mum appear on the big screen.

Uruguay 0-0 Spain
Uruguay have made a couple of decent moves so far, although they haven't converted any of them to chances.
Rodrigo Bentancur has the ball in the final third but a sloppy touch allows Spain to recover.
'Pedri and Rodri are the engine of the team'published at 01:14 BST
Uruguay 0-0 Spain
Juan Mata
Former Spain midfielder on ITVPedri and Rodri stepped up in the second game, they played really good and brought back the level to where Spain is. They are the engine of the team and can create many things.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 01:12 BST
Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia
Cape Verde's Wagner Pina enters the referee's book for catching an opponent with a high boot.

Uruguay 0-0 Spain
It's been a litlte bit flat so far in Guadalajara, with neither side having managed to produce any shots yet.
A lot of knocking the ball about.
'What a stage for Nunez to perform'published at 01:10 BST
Uruguay 0-0 Spain
Charlie Adam
Former Scotland midfielder on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's not been a good record for Darwin Nunez but what a stage to break that and help his side reach the last 32.
It's got to be a big performance from him.

Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia
Glenn Davis
Former USL soccer player on ITVTonight it is about who handles the pressure better in this environment and with advancement a possibility. For me it is who is going to take a little bit more risk? Both teams have been successful so far based on deep, low block defending and trying to keep the game in front of them. Who is going to get the transitions going? Who is going to take the risk in trying to win this?

Uruguay 0-0 Spain
This is the fourth - and final - match being hosted in Guadalajara.
The stadium sits upon an artificial hill and is designed to resemble a volcano, with red seating evoking the crater and a white roof - supported by 16 pillars - appearing to float like a cloud above the lava.
The 2026 tournament coincides with the start of Guadalajara's wet season, with the vast majority of annual rainfall coming between June and September. Often considered Mexico's second city, it lies at an altitude of over 1,600m, which may cause some players to tire quicker.

Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia
There are loud cheers early on as Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha touches the ball for the first time tonight.
The 40-year-old became an overnight superstar - amassing more than 17 million Instagram followers - after his remarkable performance against Spain.

Cape Verde 0-0 Saudi Arabia
Cape Verde captain Ryan Mendes is down on the floor after taking an early knock to his knee.
He seems able to shake it off and carry on though.
