Cruel end for Uruguay Montevideo as Cerrito pounce
There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Cerrito scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Francisco Couture pops up at the right end — 7.92
7.92, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
