Galatasaray star Muslera, 32, slightly adjusted his feet to get behind the ball but was unable to save the effort.

Viewers were instantly reminded of Liverpool goalie Loris Karius' Champions League final horror show against Real Madrid.

The German made an almost identical gaffe as he parried Gareth Bale's long-distance shot behind him and over the line in the 3-1 defeat in Kiev.

He received death threats and vile abuse online which cops confirmed they would investigate.

Muslera did not concede in the group stage against Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

He let in his first goal in the 2-1 last-16 win against Portugal.

But France were too clinical for Uruguay, with Raphael Varane heading Les Bleus ahead in the first half and Griezmann getting the second.

In the other goal, Lloris Karius nearly swallowed a DRAGONFLY.

Muslera made the same error TWICE in a 2010 friendly against Chile.

Alexis Sanchez caught him off guard from a shot just outside the box and Arturo Vidal punished him from even further back later on.

Muslera has been linked with a £20million move to Watford.
