GUADALAHARA, Mexico (AFP) — Uruguay bowed out of the World Cup as goalkeeper Fernando Muslera’s howler gifted Spain a 1-0 win in Guadalajara to secure top spot in Group H.

Alex Baena’s weak shot slipped through Muslera’s grasp for the only goal as Spain avoided a last 32 showdown against Argentina.

The European champions will instead face Austria or Algeria next in Los Angeles on Thursday.
