Match No. 591 - Wednesday, 13th June 1984, 7:00pm
- "Shilton...failed to reach a corner from Carrasco on the left in the eighth minute. Hateley managed a half-clearance but as Acosta, the Uruguayan captain, cut back into the penalty area brought him down with a typically clumsy centre-forward's tackle [7:25]. Acosta sent Shilton the wrong way with his kick." Luis Acosta, 9'8:06 (pen)
- "As the game progressed Uruguay looked the more likely to score and in the 69th minute increased their lead largely as a result of Watson's inexperience. The young centre-back misjudged a cross from Perdomo which left Carberera with a simple task of chesting the ball down before beating Shilton from close in." Wilmar Cabrera, 68'67:52
