Comments:

Now competing at their seventh FIFA World Cup finals, Saudi Arabia will be aiming to progress beyond the group stage for the second time: previously in their inaugural appearance in 1994 in the USA. . RC Lens defender Saud Abdulhamid is the only player in Saudi Arabia’s 26-man squad who does not play his club football in the Saudi Pro League. . Nations from the AFC (Asian) confederation now remained unbeaten in their five games so far at this FIFA World Cup tournament (won two): the longest such sequence in the competition’s history.

Comments:

CONMEBOL nations now remained without a win in their four games so far in this FIFA World Cup tournament: South America’s worst such start in the finals since 1974 (played nine, lost three). . Uruguay had now drawn four and lost one of their last five ‘A’ international games. . Aged 39 years and 364 days, Fernando Muslera had now become the oldest player to represent Uruguay at a FIFA World Cup tournament: previously Diego Godín in 2022 aged 36 years and 285 days. . Uruguay named only 13 of a possible 15 substitutes. Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Ronald Araújo were deemed not fit enough to participate in this game.
