📊 AI-generated recap and structured data

Spain beat Uruguay 1-0 in World Cup 2026 qualifying. Our model backed Spain at 56 percent probability and the pick landed. Uruguay arrived in form with one draw across their last five matches, though both teams had scored in all of those outings. Spain's recent run showed one win and no draws, with the team keeping clean sheets throughout. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Spain's win cemented their leadership at the top of the table with maximum points from their recent fixtures. Uruguay slipped further, now third and winless in their last 2 games.
