   🇺🇾Uruguay 1–1 🇸🇦Saudi Arabia

   Uruguay laid siege and were held to a point, which in this tournament is starting to sound like a theme. Twenty-seven shots, ten on target, fourteen corners, two-thirds of the ball — and an Al-Amri goal against the run of play left them chasing for an hour. Maximiliano Araújo's late strike rescued the draw they had spent the afternoon demanding, but a Saudi goalkeeper making nine saves was the story they could not solve. They were comfortably the better side. The table will not say so. They have to start finishing these.

   🇺🇾Uruguay 2–2 🇨🇻Cape Verde

   Uruguay will not lose sleep over the performance — only the points. They racked up 2.28 expected goals to Cape Verde's 0.77, two-thirds of the ball and sixteen shots: every marker of control except the one that counts. Marcelo Araujo and Agustín Canobbio struck either side of half-time to lead, but Hélio Varela levelled in the 61st minute — and Uruguay thought they had won it soon after, only for an Araujo header to be ruled out for offside in the 68th. A draw that flatters the underdog. The finest of margins, and finishing, is what they left unticked.

   🇺🇾Uruguay 0–1 🇪🇸Spain

   Uruguay never really got going against a Spain side content to keep the ball and wait. With just a third of the possession and an expected-goals figure of 0.2, they offered almost nothing going forward, and Alex Baena's first-half strike was always likely to be enough. The night soured further when Agustin Canobbio was sent off in the fifth minute of stoppage time, a needless end to a flat afternoon. There is no shame in losing to a side of Spain's quality, but Uruguay will know they have far more than this in them.
