Overview
- The Wembley friendly, played Friday, finished 1-1 after Federico Valverde scored a stoppage-time penalty awarded for a foul by Ben White.
- Manuel Ugarte appeared to receive two yellow cards yet stayed on the field for several minutes before being substituted.
- Post-match accounts conflicted as ITV relayed that Ugarte’s first caution was annulled, then later reported it had actually been issued to José María Giménez.
- Harry Maguire called the handling of the incident lax and pointed to a dangerous Ronald Araújo tackle on Phil Foden that went unpunished.
- Players and British media condemned the officiating and pressed for clarity on how standard card and VAR-era procedures were applied.
