GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) \u2014 Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera called for a substitution at halftime against Spain. world cup<\/span> Manager Marcelo Bielsa said after making the mistake that led to the goal on Friday night.<\/p>\n

In the second half, when Uruguay were leading 1-0 and on the verge of elimination, Sergio Roche came on as a substitute. The result is decided.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coach Bielsa said of Muslera, “He was the one who made the decision to leave,” and Muslera also made mistakes within the team. 2-2 draw against Cape Verde<\/span> The opening game was a 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Muslera could not be dispelled. Alex Baena shot<\/span> From inside the area in the 42nd minute. He seemed fooled by the bounce and was unable to get to the ball with a steady enough hand to deflect the shot completely off the net.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old Muslera, who retired from international competition several years ago, returned to Bielsa’s team earlier this year, a decision that was criticized by many Uruguayan fans.<\/p>\n

Bielsa said: “My decision was very well thought out. I did all the evaluations that I thought were necessary.” “Of course I can’t deny what happened and I can’t judge his performance. But he’s a goalkeeper who was having a very good year and he’s a player with great character and personality.”<\/p>\n

In Sunday’s match against Cape Verde, Muslera was caught out of position after a bad pass by Matias Olivera, leading to an empty net goal. And against Saudi Arabia, he was unable to secure the ball after a header and Saudi Arabia scored from the rebound.<\/p>\n
