Another Diego Alonso fiasco as Uruguay miss out on knockout phase

Related Topics: Uruguay, Diego Alonso

Despite their 2-0 victory over Ghana earlier today (first of the World Cup), Uruguay have been officially eliminated thanks to a South Korea stoppage time goal to claim victory over Portugal. Hwang Hee-chan’s score not only gave South Korea the win, but it also put them at 4 points (same as Uruguay) and gave them a 0 GD (same as Uruguay). The difference is the Asians scored 4 goals while the South Americans only scored 2. That tiebreaker handed South Korea 2nd place and left a disappointed Uruguay in 3rd.
