Spain defeated Uruguay 1-0 on Friday to reach the knock-out stage of the World Cup, but the South American nation is eliminated from the tournament.
It's a second consecutive group stage exit for two-time world champions Uruguay.
Debutants Cape Verde, meanwhile, kept writing football history for their nation as they advanced to the knock-outs after a goalless draw with Saudi Arabia.
Spain are through as Group H winners and will face either Austria or Algeria in the round of 32 on Thursday.
The 2010 world champions were stunned in the first group stage match and held to a goalless draw by Cape Verde, but bounced back with a 4-0 win against Saudi Arabia.
They sealed a spot in the next round thanks to Alex Baena winner against Uruguay in the 42nd - and a little help from goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
Baena collected a low ball from Marcos Llorente and unleashed a shot to the goal. Muslera got his two hands to it, but the ball still slipped through and fell into the net.
Uruguay said farewell to the tournament with a red card for Agustin Canobbio, who was sent off in stoppage-time for a harsh tackle on Pau Cubarsi.
Cape Verde finished second in the group and will face title holders Argentina next Friday.
Their match against Saudi Arabia finished before the final whistle for Uruguay v Spain and the Cape Verde players gathered on the pitch to watch the final minutes on a phone.
Celebrations broke out just a few minutes later as Spain's victory was confirmed.
