Baena scores his first goal in a World Cup with an assist from Llorente

Gifts in a World Cup can turn out to be costly, as was the case for Uruguay against Spain. Marcos Llorente showed alertness in regaining possession in a complicated play and passing the ball back, allowing Alex Baena to score with the help of a Muslera who was heavily criticized in his own country.

Baena's first goal in a World Cup

Alex Baena, who had already shone against Saudi Arabia, remained in Luis de la Fuente's starting eleven and managed to score his first goal in a World Cup, his third goal with the national team following his goals against Cyprus and Serbia.

Goal in numerical disadvantage

Baena's goal came at a moment when Spain was down to ten men, after the referee sent off Oyarzabal. Despite being with ten players, Muslera's clarity and collaboration were crucial, especially after the mistake that earned him criticism and jeers from his own fans.
