Spain sent a strong message in Group H with a commanding 4–0 victory over Saudi Arabia in its second match, bouncing back from an opening draw with Cabo Verde to underline why it remains among the favorites for the 2026 World Cup.
That result leaves La Roja on four points with a healthy goal difference, making it a virtual certainty to progress, although not yet mathematically confirmed. A win over Uruguay would secure top spot in the group, while a draw would almost guarantee that status unless Cabo Verde defeats Saudi Arabia and overturns Spain’s goal difference advantage.
