Red card sparks touchline scuffle in Uruguay vs Spain World Cup match

sportsJun 27, 202627333

Agustín Canobbio received a straight red card in the 90+5 minute of Uruguay's World Cup defeat to Spain, touching off a heated touchline scuffle as the final whistle blew. Spain won 1-0, with Alex Baena named Man of the Match. The red card and ensuing confrontations left the match ending in chaos and confirmed Uruguay's elimination from the tournament. Cape Verde drew 0-0 in their simultaneous match and, after waiting on the Spain result, qualified for the knockout stage as second in the group. Critics called for a lengthy suspension for Canobbio over both the challenge and his conduct toward the referee and opponents after the dismissal.

A nervy finish for Cape Verde 🇨🇻😅 They were left waiting on the result of Spain v Uruguay to confirm their place in the knockout stages. Their reaction says it all... 😁

While many of you are likely yelling "GO SPAIN" or "GO URUGUAY!" I'm yelling, "GO ISMAIL ELFATH and the rule of law!"

They’d stifled two storied soccer nations and gutted out another draw — but Cape Verde had an agonizing wait. They huddled around a phone to watch Spain-Uruguay and find out if they’d get into the round of 32. “Eventually, the joy that came out is something I’ve never felt before on the pitch.”

That man has been a walking red card all game and it’s kind of funny that came when it did

I wanted to reach through the screen and punch him after some of his antics so it was nice to see him get a red in the end and get Very Mad about it.

Takes something to be the biggest loose cannon on your team when Darwin Nunez is your teammate…

Wow, Marca held the paper for Uruguay-Spain match - almost certainly had to go to press after 5am as game ended at 4am. Well-done. As a former reporter, I know it costs money to hold presses, but given the result of this match is what most would want in paper, I bet its sales will be much higher.

Marca- Spain fútbol on cover: España gana an Uruguay y acaba primera de grupo.

Cabo Verde tied 0-0. Waiting for Uruguay but red card in the final minutes. And Uruguay loses! Cabo Verde goes through as 2nd. And there’s no way Uruguay can advance. That helps So Korea.
