So, this is the lay of the land, heading into the Group H finale.
The simple reality is that anything other than a win for Uruguay will almost guarantee they are eliminated from the tournament at the earliest possible stage.
With Cape Verde taking on Saudi Arabia, both of those teams know that a win, coupled with Uruguay failing to beat Spain, means they guarantee a spot in the knockout stage.
So while Spain are optimistic of clinching top spot – barring a collapse against a Uruguay side that has stumbled to two draws thus far – this group remains WIDE open with 90 minutes left to play.
