Uruguay needed at least a point from their final game to stand a chance of progressing to the knockout rounds of the tournament.

Uruguay ended the game with 10-men as Agustín Canobbio saw red to further rub salt in the wounds of the two-time World Champions.

“The journalists, the Uruguayan supporters, you all want to blame me for what happened, and I must take the blame.
