England v Uruguay: men’s international football friendly
86 min: In the aftermath of the goal, Ugarte was blatantly shown a second yellow. But he wasn’t ordered off. There’s film of that second yellow, being flashed, though the fourth official is apparantly insisting it never happened! Shades of Graham Poll 2006.
TL;DR
- England scored a late winning goal through White, assisted by a corner and a flick-on.
- Ugarte received a second yellow card but was not sent off, a decision questioned by observers.
- VAR reviewed a potential foul by Wharton on Gimenez before the goal, but it was allowed to stand.
- Several substitutions were made by both teams throughout the second half.
- Foden was involved in a controversial tackle by Araujo, which was not escalated by the referee or VAR.
- Uruguay struggled to create clear chances, with no shots on target for much of the match.
- Calvert-Lewin missed a clear header from a Palmer free-kick.
- The atmosphere at Wembley was described as subdued for much of the game.
