On June 19, at the World Cup in Brazil, the national teams of Uruguay and England met in the second round of Group B. Both teams were defeated in the first round, so the match in Sao Paulo was to be one of the most important for both teams. In case of defeat, the teams would minimize their chances of getting out of the death group.
All the fans in the stands of the stadium in Sao Paulo were expecting sparkling, spectacular and passionate football. Many TV viewers were looking forward to this match, because they understood that everything could be decided in this game for the national teams.
The match really turned out to be very interesting and exciting. The first dangerous moment was created by the British. After filing from the standard, Rooney struck the empty goal with his head from half a meter. All the British fans grabbed their heads, and Rooney himself would have done the same, if only he had not been hanging during the strike in the air. The Uruguayans responded with a dangerous kick, but the ball missed inches from the goal line.
It must be admitted that England had more possession of the ball, but it was they who conceded first. On the 39th minute, the South American bunch of forwards Cavani - Suarez worked. The first gave an amazing pass exactly to the head of Suarez, and the score in the match was opened. The joy of the Uruguayans knew no bounds, because it was a very important ball.
In the first half, the audience did not see more goals. The denouement came during the second half of the meeting.
After the break, the British pressed the Uruguayans to the gate. The attacks of the ancestors of football were the most dangerous, but quite a bit was not enough for a goal. Wayne Rooney in the middle of the half from almost 9 meters hits Muslera. The moment was the most dangerous. Nobody covered the British striker in the penalty area. A high-class master is obliged to realize such moments.
However, Rooney still scored. On the 75th minute, he closed the pass from the flank and made the score equal. Uruguay did not hold out quite a bit. There was a feeling that now the British will put the squeeze on their opponent. But football is unpredictable. At the 85th minute Muslera takes the ball far ahead, Cavani fights with the defender of the British for the riding ball. This ultimately leads to the fact that Luis Suarez falls out on a rendezvous with Hart. The strongest blow and the score was again in favor of Uruguay - 2 - 1. After such a shock, the British tried to recoup, but could not do it.
Luis Suarez, who became the hero of the match, was replaced. And the referee with the final whistle recorded the victory of Uruguay. Fans of South Americans with tears in their eyes rejoiced at this event. Suarez himself almost cried with happiness. But this is only the beginning of the tournament.
The victory of the Uruguayans significantly increased the chances of qualifying from the group, and the British can only hope for a miracle. Much will depend on the next match Italy - Costa Rica. In any case, the situation in the death group is very confusing.
