Egypt star Mo Salah watched on in devastation from the bench as Jose Maria Gimenez buried a header to snatch a late win for Uruguay in their World Cup opener.
Birthday boy Salah, who turned 26, was passed fit but failed to make an appearance.
It appeared his team would cope without him before the Atletico Madrid defender put a bullet header into the net for the winner on 89 minutes.
Indeed it was a huge relief for Uruguay after a catalogue of near misses.
Edinson Cavani had been denied by the post from his sublime free-kick just moments earlier.
