Uruguay vs Spain LIVE: Latest World Cup score and updates as Group H reaches thrilling climax

18 mins: That’s a nice move from Spain. They work it quickly across the pitch after a throw in on the right.

It comes to Baena who slips a first time pass into the box for Oyarzabal.

Oyarzabal’s run is well timed but he’s forced wide and the ball is poked out for a corner.

15 mins: Yamal twists his way down the right side of the pitch and wins a corner.

Baena swings it into the penalty area and onto the head of Rodri but he can’t guide the ball towards goal.

12 mins: Oh wow! Baena makes a poor pass after Spain recover the ball inside their own half.

He gives it away to Valverde who looks for a one-two with Nunez to get himself into the area but the return pass is intercepted and Spain clear.

This is better from Uruguay.

9 mins: Uruguay haven’t quite gotten themselves into the contest yet and are finding it tricky to play through Spain, especially in midfield.

Spain are enjoying plenty of the ball but the South American side are employing a decent press.

6 mins: Uruguay win a free kick over on the left side of the pitch and swing in a cross.

The ball is headed straight up from the initial delivery and Unai Simon comes to claim it.

Instead, he drops and fumbles it causing the ball to come loose inside the six yard box.

Luckily for Spain the nearest player is a defender who hooks it clear before any damage is done.

3 mins: A poor pass back from Bentancur feeds the ball into the path of Lamine Yamal. He skips out of a tackle and slides the ball over to Oyarzabal.

The attacker shoots from the left side of the box and wins the first corner of the game.

Spain get the ball rolling in Mexico and send it back to Unai Simon.

He’s put under pressure by a pressing Darwin Nunez and hooks the ball out of play on the right side of the pitch.

The players make their way out onto the pitch at the Estadio Guadalajara.

Spain still have some work to do and must ensure they win tonight in order to top Group H.

Uruguay will be out if they don’t at least draw with Spain.

In the other game of Group H, Cape Verde are attempting to reach the knockout rounds when they face Saudi Arabia.

How will it all play out? We’re about to find out…

It has not been a model World Cup for him, either: draws with Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde leave Uruguay requiring at least a point against Spain to avert an ignominiously early exit, and with it the end of Bielsa’s reign.

Spain won their final group stage match at every World Cup between 1986 and 2014.

However, La Roja failed to do so in each of the last two editions, drawing 2-2 with Morocco in 2018 before losing 2-1 to Japan in 2022.

Which way will tonight’s match go?
