rewrite this title Egypt v Iran LIVE: Score and updates as Mo Salah’s men look to top Group G

The former Tottneham boss said on ITV: “It’s just a great story for what the World Cup is all about. We often talk about how football touches every part of the globe and this is what it can do. Get on the main stage and they finished second in their group.

“I think they’d love to play Argentina, it just adds to their story. Playing against the reigning champions. What a great story it’s been.”

Marcelo Bielsa has failed to progress from the group stage in two of his three World Cup campaigns: with Argentina in 2002 and Uruguay in 2026.

His only successful group-stage campaign came with Chile in 2010.

Cape Verde’s reward for finishing second and making it out of Group H is a match against the reigning world champions Argentina.

That clash will take place in Miami where Leo Messi plays his club football.

What a game for the Cape Verde players to have as their first ever knockout match. They couldn’t beat the world champions could they?

As things stand, Spain will be playing Austria in the round of 32 at the Los Angeles Stadium.

Austria still need to finish off their group stage so that could change.

Cape Verde’s fairytale goes on as they qualify for the next round having finished second in the group.

They are unbeaten with three draws from their group stage games. Spain couldn’t beat them and neither could Uruguay or Saudi Arabia.

Two wins and a draw for Spain means they win the group with seven points.

They still have plenty to learn and develop but the first job is done and the Spanish can improve through the knockouts.

90+7 mins: There’s the final whistle.

Uruguay threw themselves at Spain but couldn’t find a way through. It’s a frustrating end to the tournament for them as they’ll be heading home.

Spain finish top of Group H and secure another win. They’re heading into the last-32 with a renewed sense of momentum.

90+4 mins: It’s all kicking off now!

Uruguay’s frustration boils over completely as they know they’re heading out of the competition.

Canobbio flies into the wild tackle and caltters into Pau Cubarsi.

The referee has no choice but to pull out the red.

90 mins: Five minutes of added time to play at the end of this match.
