Baena goal tops Group H as Spain march on and Pino faces World Cup exit

Baena sends Spain through, Uruguay out

Spain 1–0 Uruguay, and your team tops Group H. Alex Baena scored the winner in the 42nd minute after a Fernando Muslera mistake (1) (4) (12). The keeper spilled a routine ball and Baena punished it. Muslera was hooked at half-time. Uruguay finished with ten men after Agustin Canobbio saw a straight red in stoppage time (4) (14). Spain now avoid Argentina in the round of 16.

Baena: we are made for the final

Alex Baena did not hold back after the match. "We are the champions of Europe and we are made to be in the final," he said (2). The Villarreal midfielder scored his first World Cup goal in Guadalajara and it could not have landed at a better moment.

Yeremy Pino may miss the rest of the tournament

A suspected broken collarbone could end Yeremy Pino's World Cup (3). The winger is being assessed, but the early outlook is grim. Losing him would cut into de la Fuente's wide options ahead of the knockout rounds.

Bielsa unloads on his own team

Marcelo Bielsa kept it brutal after Uruguay's elimination. "I will leave nothing to Uruguayan football," he said (6). The Uruguay manager fronted the failure directly, and the local press is not sparing anyone. One French commentator called Uruguay "a team of wrestlers" after the match (5).

Fan reactions

Spain fans are riding the Baena goal and the Muslera howler in equal measure. The top-voted thread is the goal clip itself, with supporters calling it a gift and praising Baena's composure. The Muslera substitution at half-time drew heavy attention, especially the image of him not returning to the bench. Plenty are already looking ahead: Austria or Algeria await in the round of 32.
