Uruguay's Jose Maria Gimenez could face a lengthy ban following unsavoury scenes which marred his country's exit from the World Cup, including a Fifa official being 'elbowed' as well as the VAR monitor being punched.

With time ticking down, Uruguay were heading into the last 16 as they led Ghana 2-0 on Friday, but South Korea's 91st-minute strike gave them a surprise 2-1 victory over Portugal.
