The rage in Uruguay (screenshot)

The Uruguayan team was furious after being kicked out of the World Cup despite the 0:2 victory over Ghana, and this following South Korea’s amazing 1:2 over Portugal in the 90th minute of the corresponding match. Edinson Cavani was particularly angry and after the game when he was walking down towards the dressing room, he pushed the VAR screen in the stadium and knocked it to the floor.

Cavani came off the bench in the 65th minute to score a third goal. The Valencia and ex-Manchester United striker was furious after the game and vented his frustration on the monitor, and this is because he claimed a penalty on him during the game and did not receive it. It didn’t end there and almost all of Uruguay’s 26 players attacked the referee and his assistants in the tunnel.

Both Valencia striker and Jose Maria Jimenez received yellow cards following their protests, and the reactions were also not slow to arrive on social networks, with former footballer and coach Chris Sutton claiming: “Blame game. Cavani cheats to get a penalty and then he and his friends blame the referee, they are bad losers.

Although Uruguay defeated Ghana, the same team that beat them on penalties in the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup after Luis Suarez’s memorable hand touch, they failed to qualify for the next stage, when this time ‘El Pistolero’ cried at the end of the game and even harshly attacked FIFA after the final whistle.
