At the same time, Senegal finally “woke up” in the World Cup and crushed Iraq 5-0, and could advance as one of the best third-placed teams!

Late in the evening, Spain did not have to do much, but beat Uruguay 1-0 and confirmed their status as group favorites.

La Celeste, meanwhile, disappointed once again and bowed out of the World Cup in the group stage.

La Furia’s win came thanks to an unbelievable mistake by goalkeeper Muslera - which led to plenty of mocking on social media!

At the same time, Cape Verde held Saudi Arabia to a 0-0 draw and booked their place in the knockout stage in their first-ever World Cup!
