""A bad day at the office" was England boss Tuchel's assessment of the performance of the officials in the 1-1 draw on Friday."
"Ugarte staying on the pitch despite appearing to be booked twice was arguably the biggest talking point of the match."
"Opta statistics show it was in fact Jose Gimenez who was booked for the first incident, and he was seen questioning referee Sven Jablonski."
"White bundled home England's opener from a corner, but there was a check by the video assistant referee (VAR) with Adam Wharton appearing to block Gimenez."
The friendly match between England and Uruguay ended in a 1-1 draw marked by controversial officiating. Ben White scored for England, but a stoppage-time penalty by Federico Valverde equalized. Manuel Ugarte appeared to receive two yellow cards without being sent off, while Ronald Araujo's heavy challenge on Phil Foden went unpunished. The confusion intensified as Ugarte continued playing despite the apparent bookings, leading to claims of a rescinded card. Opta confirmed Ugarte only received one yellow card, raising questions about the officiating quality during the match.
