Despite a red card being given to Uruguay substitute Nicolás Lodeiro in the second half, Uruguay were able to hold a "lacklustre" France to a 0–0 draw.
After the match, former World Cup-winning French player Zinedine Zidane criticised the French team, and particularly coach Raymond Domenech, for a lack of teamwork. Domenech claimed after the match to be "happy with the overall performance".
This result became the 3rd consecutive 0-0 draw between the two sides
