Canobbio, from Fluminense, loses his temper and is sent off in Uruguay vs Spain

It was a night to forget in Uruguay, especially for Augustín Canobbio. The striker was sent off in the 49th minute of the second half in the team's embarrassing elimination in the group stage of the World Cup against Spain.

The Fluminense player made a huge foul on Cubarsí. Spain's number 22 was making the pass in the middle of the field when he was tackled by the Uruguayan.

The card outraged Canobbio, who had to be contained by Uruguay's players and coaching staff.

Canobbio had already clashed with the referee
Minutes before the red card, Canobbio had already clashed with referee Ismail Elfath over a foul committed by De La Cruz.

The Flamengo player received a yellow card, and Canobbio pushed the referee's hand.

Uruguay out of the World Cup
Uruguay was defeated by Spain 1-0 on Friday night (26), in the last round of Group H of the World Cup. As a result, the two-time world champion was eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup.

The Uruguayan team found it difficult to create chances and ended up being punished with a goal from Baena, who took advantage of another mistake by goalkeeper Muslera to guarantee the Spanish victory.

In the 42nd minute, midfielder Álex Baena received a cross from the right and finished. The ball was in the center of the goal and Muslera touched it, but was unable to make the save. After the break, the player was replaced by Sergio Rochet, from Internacional.

In the debut match, he sent a rebound into the middle of the area that resulted in a goal for Saudi Arabia, in a 1-1 draw with Celeste Olímpica. Against Cape Verde, Fernando Muslera made a mistake by poorly organizing the wall on Kevin Pina's free kick and failed to leave the area for the African team's second goal, scored by Hélio Varela. The duel ended in a 2-2 draw.

With the failure against the Spanish team, Muslera reached the mark of five errors that resulted in goals in World Cups, a record since 1966, according to the "Sofascore" platform.
