Uruguay v Spain

90'+3'

Yellow Card

Yellow Card Nicolás de la Cruz

Just five minutes of added time in this one. It’s now or never for Uruguay.

INQUEST! Uruguay finally commit bodies forward, and after neat play from Canobbio, Nunez tries yet another needless back‑heel that does nothing to help his side. The ball does breas kindly, though, with Vinas trying to shield it from the onrushing Olmo and appealing for a penalty – but the substitute initiated the contact, and play continues.

Bodies have to flood forward now for Uruguay – they’ve got nothing to lose. A goal simply has to come, or they’ll be crashing out at the first hurdle for the second World Cup running.

CHANCES! De la Cruz has been a livewire all night, and he lashes one at goal for Uruguay, only for Simon to beat it away. La Roja then surge upfield, and after a wonderful give‑and‑go between Ferran and Ruiz, the Barcelona man has the goal at his mercy. He shapes for the low finish but instead whips it toward the top‑left corner, and it has just too much height, clipping the bar on its way over.

Uruguay are unfortunate not to get a foul on the far side as De la Cruz tries to make something happen again. The substitute threads it forward for Bentancur, but the Tottenham man is halted by Cucurella. Nunez then races in from an offside position, and the flag goes up – instead of for the clear foul on show.
