Defender and captain Diego Godin scored in the 81st minute during the Group D preliminary match between Uruguay and Italy at the Arena das Dunas in Natal, helping Uruguay take the second spot in the group.
In another Group D match at the Estadio Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte on the same day, Costa Rica drew 0-0 with England, and qualified for the 16-team knockout stage by topping Group D, a "group of death."
