GUADALAJARA, June 25 : Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa said they are treating Friday's World Cup match against Spain as a final in order to get the win they need to be sure of a place in the round of 32.
June 25 : Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said his side learned valuable lessons from their goalless draw with Cape Verde and must continue improving ahead of Friday's World Cup Group H clash against Uruguay.
NEW YORK: FIFA president Gianni Infantino has defended the introduction of hydration breaks at the World Cup, insisting that for football’s governing body they are driven purely by sporting considerations and not commercial interests.
WASHINGTON: Uruguay arrive at Friday’s Group H meeting with Spain in urgent need of a first World Cup win after two draws turned a promising start into a precarious path to the knockout rounds. La Celeste, world champions in 1930 and 1950, have two points from two matches after drawing 1-1 with Saudi Arabia and 2-2 with Cape Verde, results that left Marcelo Bielsa’s side two points behind group leaders Spain. Uruguay have created enough chances to suggest they should be in a stronger position, but defensive errors and missed opportunities have left them needing a sharp response in Guadalajara. Against Cape Verde, Uruguay recovered from Kevin Pina’s long-range free kick to lead through goals from Maxi Araujo and Agustin Canobbio before halftime, only for substitute Helio Varela to equalize around the hour mark after a defensive mix-up. Bielsa accepted responsibility for the defensive lapses, but the urgency is shared across a squad whose final group game comes against a Spain team who arrive in Guadalajara in a very different mood. After opening with a flat 0-0 draw against Cape Verde, Luis de la Fuente’s European champions responded with a 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia in Atlanta, powered by the return of Lamine Yamal to the starting lineup. The 18-year-old, managing his way back from a hamstring injury, scored Spain’s opener after 10 minutes and was withdrawn at halftime with the match effectively decided. Mikel Oyarzabal, criticized after a quiet display against Cape Verde, also answered emphatically with two goals and an assist in the first half.
