Former Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani took his frustration out on the pitchside VAR monitor after Uruguay's gut-wrenching exit from the World Cup on Friday evening.
After failing to win each of their opening two games, the South American outfit faced an uphill struggle to join Portugal in advancing to the knockout stages of the competition. They knew that a victory in their concluding Group H fixture against Ghana, so long as South Korea failed to beat Portugal, would be enough to see them keep their World Cup dream alive.
But despite two first-half goals from Giorgio de Arrascaeta to secure a 2-0 win, it was not enough for Uruguay to stay in the tournament. South Korea struck a 91st-minute winner to seal a shock 2-1 victory over Portugal, bagging them second place in the group ahead of Uruguay on goals scored. South Korea scored four times in the group stages compared to Uruguay's tally of two.
