Saudi Arabia meet Uruguay in World Cup group H after Spain's shock draw with Cape Verde

Spain's surprising 0-0 stalemate with World Cup debutants Cape Verde reshuffled group H, opening a path for Saudi Arabia or Uruguay to take an early lead. The two sides face each other in Miami, with Uruguay's experienced squad under Marcello Bielsa favoured on paper. But Saudi Arabia stunned Argentina in their opening match of the 2022 tournament, and the 2026 edition has already delivered upsets including Brazil's draw with Morocco and Australia's win over Turkey. A victory today would put either team on top of the group.
