Edinson Cavani furiously knocked over the VAR monitor screen with a punch after Uruguay were eliminated from the World Cup.
Two goals from Giorgian De Arrascaeta secured the South American nation a 2-0 win over Ghana at the Al Janoub Stadium, but South Korea 2-1 comeback victory over Portugal left both teams tied on four points, and with the same goal difference. However, South Korea sneaked through having scored four goals compared to Uruguay’s two.
However there was a hugely contentious penalty decision late on in Uruguay’s win as they were denied a penalty as Cavani went down under a challenge inside the area. Referee Daniel Siebert waved away the appeal before minutes later blowing for full-time, only to be surrounded by a swarm of angry Uruguay players.
