Uruguay knew they needed to score one more than Korea Republic if the day ended with them winning their matches. Leading 2-0 with just minutes remaining, Uruguay were advancing into the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup as Korea Republic were locked in a 1-1 draw with Portugal.

But when Korea struck late on to claim a 2-1 victory, it was for Uruguay to get another goal, but it eluded them and they crashed out.

This was a game with plenty of spice after Uruguay had knocked Ghana out on penalties in 2010. And just as penalties proved a talking point then, so they did here as Andre Ayew missed a spot kick with the scores level at 0-0.

Uruguay took control from that point, but their victory still wasn't enough to advance from Group H.

Joing Mark Roberts, Chris Loxston and Harry Lowe from FIFA are Alberto Zaccheroni, Sunday Oliseh and Faryd Mondragon.
