( CNN ) -- The World Cup is n't even a week old yet , but Wednesday could see defending champions Spain knocked out of the contest . If they lose to Chile and the Netherlands beat Australia , Spain wo n't make it out of the group stage . But the Spaniards will be going into the match with the wind at their backs . Spain has beaten Chile in eight of their last 10 matches . The other two were draws . But there is precedent for the defending champions to be knocked out in the group stage . It happened as recently as 2010 in South Africa , when the 2006 winners , Italy , came last in their group . And Spain got off to an abysmal start . Their 5-1 loss to the Netherlands was the worst defeat a defending champion has ever suffered in the World Cup . After the thrashing the Netherlands gave Spain , you might expect them to deal Australia a similar drubbing . Australia is the lowest-ranked team to make the World Cup this year . But in fact , the Netherlands have never beaten Australia . Granted , they 've played each other only three times before . Australia won one , and the other two were draws . In the last match of the day , Cameroon plays Croatia , a game that should break a streak of poor results for one team or the other . Cameroon has lost five World Cup matches in a row . But Croatia has gone five without a win , losing three and drawing two . The two sides have never played each other before . Wednesday 's dramas come a day after the 2014 World Cup 's best attacking team met the tournament 's best defensive team . The result was probably the greatest performance by a goalkeeper most football fans have ever seen . Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa was the man of the match , holding Brazil scoreless despite the hosts ' eight shots on goal . Here are some key statistics : . Number of goals Ochoa has conceded in this World Cup : 0 . Number of shots on goal against him : 12 . Number of saves : 7 , the highest in the tournament . Tweets mentioning Ochoa during the Brazil-Mexico match : 1,967,657 , making him the most-often mentioned Mexican player on Twitter during the match . Number of tweets during the match : 8.95 million . Host Brazil held by Mexico . World Cup schedule of matches .
