England drew 1-1 with Uruguay at Wembley Stadium on Friday. The match featured several contentious officiating decisions involving the video assistant referee. Midfielder Manuel Ugarte appeared to receive two yellow cards without being sent off by the referee, according to Sky Sports.
The incident occurred during the second half when Ugarte committed a foul after previously being booked. Despite the second caution, he remained on the pitch for the duration of the friendly. Officials later clarified that the first booking had been recorded against a different player, per ESPN.
England had a goal by Ollie Watkins disallowed for offside following a lengthy VAR review in the first period. Darwin Nunez opened the scoring for the visitors before Jude Bellingham equalised late in the match. The Football Association has not released an official statement regarding the booking error. This result concludes the international break for the senior men's side before players return to their domestic clubs for the final league run-in.
