الأوروغواي vs الرأس الأخضر

Cape Verde counter-attacked in the closing seconds; Cape Verde #21 broke through near the Uruguay byline and was caught by Uruguay #6's recovering slide tackle. The tackle was clean — the Uruguay defender's leg got to the ball first and deflected it away, with the Cape Verde attacker going over the outstretched leg after the ball was won. Under Law 12, this is the textbook "playing the ball, not the man" scenario; the trip-over-the-tackler trajectory is normal physics for a clean slide and is NOT a foul. The referee correctly waved play on; no penalty kick was warranted. World-class recovery tackle from Uruguay's defender in a high-pressure end-of-match moment.
