[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/arsenal/hA1Zm19f/"]Arsenal[/a] defender [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/white-ben/pvGdJANj/"]White[/a] opened the scoring on his [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/england/j9N9ZNFA/"]England[/a] recall, though he conceded a late penalty, which was converted by Real Madrid midfielder [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/valverde-federico/nscfER6B/"]Federico Valverde[/a] for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/uruguay/xMk44orG/"]Uruguay[/a].[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/maguire-harry/xG8v3YRA/"]Maguire[/a] said at the final whistle: [b]"A bit crazy, scoring the first goal. I thought he was brilliant when he came on. [/b][/p][p][b]"I can't say anything about the defending for that one (the penalty) - if that was me in that position I'd be attempting to block the shot as well. That's what we've got to do. That's a real soft penalty.[/b][/p][p][b]"He's been good all week, a big smile on his face and he's brought great energy to the camp. He got his rewards tonight with the goal, and I thought he was brilliant when he came on."[/b][/p][embed guid="8ebb2aa6-cd87-4fe5-8108-d3870072b5cb" url="https://x.com/England/status/2037646065520787951?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]He also said: "I thought that we controlled the whole game really, they didn't create a chance.[/p][p][b]"We could have been better, we know that. When we made changes, we lost a bit of the rhythm with the game plan, but that is what happens in these games when you make changes on 60-70 minutes. [/b][/p][p][b]"But we had control of the game, they didn't really get in our box, and then it's a ridiculous penalty."[/b][/p]
