Bielsa says Muslera halftime substitution was his own decision

Uruguay faced Spain in the group stage and suffered a defeat. In the second half, goalkeeper Fernando Muslera voluntarily left the pitch, allowing his substitute to take over.

Coach Marcelo Bielsa clarified that the decision was Muslera’s own and accepted full responsibility for the team’s outcome. Bielsa reflected that Uruguay failed to translate its potential onto the field and consequently exited the tournament.
