Ally McCoist was left fuming after Portugal were awarded a penalty that all but secured victory over Uruguay and left Darwin Nunez's World Cup hopes hanging by a thread.
The Liverpool striker's side lost 2-0 in their second game at the Lusail Stadium thanks to a brace from Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes - the second of which came from a controversial penalty in added-time. Fernandes slid the ball through the sliding legs of Jose Gimenez, whose arm came down to land and made contact with the ball. Iranian referee Alireza Faghani was sent to the monitor to review his decision and ended up awarding a penalty for handball.
Red Devils talisman Fernandes stepped up to convert the penalty and secure the win, leaving Nunez and Uruguay bottom of the table with just one point - they are now two points off Ghana, who they face in the final round on Friday. And speaking during commentary of the match, McCoist fumed at the decision, following former referee Peter Walton's attempted justification.
