Muslera's mistake occurred in the 42nd minute at the Guadalajara Stadium in Mexico. After a low, not particularly dangerous shot from Alex Baena, the Uruguayan goalkeeper dived to make the save but failed, allowing the ball to slowly roll into the net, giving Spain the lead.
Muslera's serious mistake displeased coach Marcelo Bielsa. Immediately after halftime, the Argentinian strategist decided to substitute the 40-year-old goalkeeper with Sergio Rochet.
This isn't the first time Muslera has made a mistake at this year's World Cup . In the opening match against Saudi Arabia, he fumbled a header, giving the opponent a chance to score.
In the match against Cape Verde, Muslera continued to make mistakes, failing to save the opening goal from a long-range free kick, before making a poorly timed run forward and being beaten for the second goal.
According to Sofascore , Muslera is the only goalkeeper to have made more than five direct errors leading to goals conceded in World Cup history. Despite being the first-choice goalkeeper for several Uruguayan national team coaches in previous World Cups, the veteran goalkeeper was unable to overcome his string of mistakes at the biggest football tournament on the planet.
Muslera's mistake was one of the reasons Uruguay were eliminated from the 2026 World Cup with only 2 points after the group stage.
