Colombia tried, tried, tried … but it did not go through the beautiful defense of the Uruguayans. In a great match for the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, Uruguay beat the coffee team 3-0 and showed strength for the challenges that lie ahead.
The team led by Óscar Tabárez went ahead very early: after Mina’s error, Nández recovered in the attack and opened with Cavani, who had no problems to beat Ospina. The Colombian goalkeeper, even in the first half, also prevented the Uruguayans from having a greater advantage with two great saves.
With the entry of Luis Díaz, still in the first stage, Colombia improved and began to control the actions of the game, but stopped in an afternoon without inspiration from James Rodríguez and Luis Muriel. On the other hand, Godín and Giménez, insurmountable, prevented any arrival of the Cafeteros.
The second hesitation, then, was fatal: James lost the ball on defense, Bentancur served Suárez and received him back inside the area. Murillo, without options, arrived late and committed the penalty. 2-0 for Uruguay on the Suarez ball. Minutes later, it was Darwin Núñez, who entered the break, who received a ball from Torreira, after Ospina took a goal kick, and launched a beautiful shot from outside the area to declare the result.
In the final minutes, Colombia still lost the expulsion of Yerry Mina.
