Uruguay are starting to exploit space behind Marc Cucurella, with Ronald Araújo driving into the gaps a couple of times since the water break. They’ve looked more threatening down the right and are slowly growing into the game. Spain still in control overall, but Uruguay are getting closer.
One goal here could change everything, and it would suddenly set up a massive round of 32 clash, possibly Argentina vs Spain, which would be huge.
