World Cup 2014: All the stats from Uruguay's stunning defeat of England

England needed a result against Uruguay to have a realistic chance of making the second round. They didn’t get it, losing 2-1 just as they did against Italy. The damage was done by the irrepressible Luis Suarez, who scored the first and last goals of the game. Wayne Rooney finally got on the score sheet in a World Cup in between, but it is likely to be a case of far too little, far too late. Here are the statistical highlights from the game: - The Wayne Rooney equaliser in the 75th minute meant that England has scored in each of their last nine World Cup matches against South American opponents. - It took Wayne Rooney a mere 758 minutes to score his first World Cup goal. [caption id=“attachment_1580157” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Luis Suarez celebrates after scoring his 2nd goal against England. Reuters](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Suarez-vs-England-Reuters.jpg) Luis Suarez celebrates after scoring his 2nd goal against England. Reuters[/caption] - The goal against Uruguay was Rooney’s 40th for England. He is now joint-fourth top scorer for England, with Michael Owen. - Luis Suarez’s heroics for Uruguay meant England lost their opening two games of the World Cup for the first time ever. - The last time England lost their opening two games of a major tournament was 26 years ago in the 1988 European Championship. - Luis Suarez has now scored five World Cup goals from seven appearances. - Roy Hodgson is having a tough time of late. He has lost his last four games at the World Cup, two with Switzerland and now two with England. - This was the first time in 16 appearances that Uruguay has won a World Cup match against European opponents.
