Uruguay knocked out by Spain, América’s Cáceres and Rodríguez silent
Uruguay needed a win or draw against Spain to reach the World Cup round of 16, but defensive lapses and a lack of attacking spark led to a 2‑0 defeat. Liga MX stars Sebastián Cáceres and Brian Rodríguez, both from Club América, were unable to create clear chances.
Coach Marcelo Bielsa called the showing one of the nation’s biggest failures. Uruguay left the tournament with just two points.
