Ugarte injury and Muslera error cost Uruguay 0-1 defeat to Spain

During the group match, Uruguay controlled the early play until the 42nd minute when midfielder Ugarte attempted to dispossess Pedri and collapsed with a knee injury. Moments later, Spain’s Alex Baena capitalised on a soft finish, and Muslera’s erroneous save allowed the ball to slip through, marking his third mistake of the tournament.

The lone goal gave Spain a 0-1 lead, and coach Bielsh introduced Brazilian keeper Rochet for the injured Ugarte, but Uruguay could not recover and left the field empty‑handed.
