Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielli took Muslera off at halftime in the friendly versus Spain. Muslera had just mis‑handled a back pass that slid to a Spanish forward, who tapped the ball for the opening goal. The striker's tap quickly gave Spain a 1‑0 lead.
Sergio Rochet came in for the later period. Uruguay will finish the game with Rochet in goal, trying to steady the back line. Uruguay expects the change will keep the defense together. The friendly helps both sides fine‑tune ahead of the tournament.
