Spain vs Saudi Arabia: World Cup 2026 Live Updates

Spain's campaign did not get off to a flying start, and Luis de la Fuentes may wake up in the night to visions of Cape Verde's Vozinha. He will have Georgia on his mind ever since Monday. Saudi Arabia are no pushovers and gave Uruguay a scare in their opening match.

The Challenge Ahead for Spain

Memories of downing Argentina four years ago still abound, and so Spain might beware. They can ill afford to go into the final game with Uruguay at a disadvantage. All eyes on Lamine Yamal, whose fitness situation remains opaque, though Spain need their other forwards to come to the party.

Lamine Yamal's Potential Impact

We wait to see what role Lamine Yamal will play today. His coach would surely like to be able to use him. Lamine Yamal is considered a genius 'like Dalí or Michelangelo' by Spain's De la Fuente.

Spain's Previous Match

Spain had 27 shots, with Ferran Torres hitting the bar and seeing another clear opportunity saved. Vozinha, the 40-year-old goalkeeper, stopped six more and was named the man of the match.
