Uruguay have fallen behind to European champions Spain in their crucial World Cup group stage match.
The South American nation are currently relying on a result elsewhere to send them into the knockout rounds of the tournament, and know by the end of the night they could be in serious trouble.
Should they lose and Saudi Arabia beat Cape Verde, Uruguay would finish bottom of their group, unless there is a swing in goal difference.
And it was a nightmare first half for Marcelo Bielsa’s men, who gifted La Roja their goal before the break.
After several players stopped playing when Lamine Yamal went down with an apparent head injury, the Spain attackers did not.
After working the ball into the box, Alex Baena spun on the ball and fired on target.
It looked like a comfortable save for Fernando Muslera in goal, but he fumbled the effort into his own net, the only shot on target in the entire first half.
Until then, Uruguay had been relatively comfortable in the match, but now find themselves chasing it in the second half.
