Uruguay coach Diego Alonso said:
“We wanted to score the third goal, we knew we could do it, and I think we had several chances to score the third goal.
“For 80 minutes we were qualified, we had chances and actions in the penalty area. In the end it wasn’t possible, of course the emotional side was important but we had to fight to qualify.
“We have to analyse what happened tonight, but also the last two games. Uruguay isn’t knocked out because of winning tonight.
