elcome to Sportstar’s LIVE coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group H match between Uruguay and Spain being played in Guadalajara on Friday.
Preview: The race for Round of 32 qualification tightens as Group H sees the final round of games get underway. Uruguay has just two points from two games and needs a win to safely advance to the next round. In case of a draw, it will need results in other groups to go its way to qualify in third place. Spain has picked a win already and needs just one point to advance as group topper. The other game between Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia can also have a bearing on how the final standings look like.
Lineups
Uruguay (4-2-3-1): Muslera - Varela, Caceres, Olivera, Sanabria - Bentancur, Ugarte - Canobbio, Valverde, Araujo - Nunez
Spain (4-3-3): Simon - Llorente, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella - Merino, Rodri, Pedri - Yamal, Oyarzabal, Baena
Kick-off time: 6:00pm local time (5:30am IST on June 27)
Venue: Guadalajara Stadium, Mexico
Referee: Ismail Elfath
Who is the referee for today's match?
American referee Ismail Elfath has been named in-charge of this game, along with assistant referees Corey Parker and Kyle Atkins.
This will be the second game for Elfath at this World Cup, having already officiated in the Group F match between Netherlands and Japan two weeks ago.
Elfath was born in Morocco but emigrated to the United States as an 18-year-old. He has been a FIFA accredited referee since 2014 and has taken charge of games at the FIFA Club World Cup, Olympic Games, and Copa America.
The 44-year-old has officiated in 332 games and given 1263 yellow and 42 red cards.
Spain last five results
The draw against Cape Verde was a rare blip that Spain seems to have gotten over after trouncing Saudi Arabia 5-0. Despite Uruguay’s flair, Spain will still be the favourite in this match:
Spain 4-0 Saudi Arabia
Spain 0-0 Cape Verde
Peru 1-3 Spain
Spain 0-0 Iraq
Spain 1-1 Egypt
Uruguay last five results
Form is a major concern for Uruguay heading into the big encounter on Friday, having not won in any of its last five games:
Uruguay 2-2 Cape Verde
Saudi Arabia 1-1 Uruguay
Algeria 0-0 Uruguay
England 1-1 Uruguay
USA 5-1 Uruguay
Spain starting lineup (4-3-3)
Simon - Llorente, Cubarsi, Laporte, Cucurella - Merino, Rodri, Pedri - Yamal, Oyarzabal, Baena.
Uruguay starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Muslera - Varela, Caceres, Olivera, Sanabria - Bentancur, Ugarte - Canobbio, Valverde, Araujo - Nunez.
Now or never for Uruguay
After suffering back-to-back draws against Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde, Uruguay needs to pull its socks against pre-tournament favourite Spain. Only a win will secure a straightforward way into round of 32. A draw will leave its fate depending on results in Groups G, J, K and L.
