Episode Details

Saudi Arabia stunned Uruguay in a thrilling 1-1 draw that echoed their 2018 upset of Argentina, proving they can still compete with World Cup giants. Al-Amri opened the scoring early, but Maxi Araújo equalized late — both off rebounds — as Uruguay dominated possession but couldn’t crack Saudi’s resilient defense. The result sets a tense Group H, with Cape Verde also drawing scoreless against Spain, leaving all teams with a point. Adding historical flair, the match featured past and future hosts — Uruguay, who hosted the first World Cup, and Saudi Arabia, set to host in 2034 — with FIFA President Infantino and NBA star Bam Adebayo in attendance.
