He was removed after picking up and injury and was visibly devastated with the realisation that he would have to leave the field of play on a very important evening.

The Uruguayan is a big game player and would have seen this as an opportunity to put his name in the headlines and send his team to the knockout rounds, instead he was replaced by Matheus Cunha and had to watch the chaotic game from the bench.
