Concedes once, subs off halftime
Muslera recorded no saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-0 defeat to Spain.
Analysis: Muslera had a game -- and a World Cup -- to forget, as he made a crucial mistake in Spain's lone goal and Uruguay was eliminated in group stage. He was the subbed off during halftime, replaced by Sergio Rochet. There's a case to say he blundered in all four goals conceded during his three starts.
Makes costly mistake in draw
Muslera made two saves in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Cape Verde.
Analysis: Muslera had relatively little to do for periods of the match but was beaten by a phenomenal long-range set piece from Kevin Pina that gave Cape Verde its first-ever World Cup goal. Muslera was involved in the decisive equalizer in the second half, when a defensive breakdown and poor communication left him stranded off his line, allowing Helio Varela to capitalize on the mistake and score into an open net for Cape Verde's second goal. The error proved costly as Uruguay dropped two valuable points in Group H. Uruguay will be desperate for a result against powerhouse Spain in their final group stage match on Friday, June 26.
