Getty ImagesHello and welcome to our live coverage of the 2026 World Cup clash between Spain and Saudi Arabia.Group H is fascinatingly poised after Cape Verde’s heroics against Spain last time out. Spain had almost 75 per cent possession against the World Cup debutants and took a whopping 27 shots on goal, but could not break the deadlock as Cape Verde secured a famous 0-0 draw.That opened the door for both Saudi Arabia and Uruguay — but neither nation was able to step through. Saudi Arabia took the lead against Marcelo Bielsa’s side, only for Uruguay to grab a late leveller through Maximiliano Araujo.It means all four sides have one point, with everything to play for heading into today’s fixtures.
