Campaign: He was a spectator in the first half. Chile arrived so little and generated so little danger that it barely touched the ball. Already in the second period he had more work and was confident. He couldn’t do much in Alexis’s goal.
Cáceres: It was very easy for him to go up the right wing due to the low offensive volume of Chile and the weakness of the left sector of the Red defense. He fulfilled both facets of the game, with good control of the ball.
Godín: The patron of the Uruguayan defense. A wall both above and below. Very correct at the start. He transmitted security even when he was for the Chilean forwards.
Coates: It started well, firmly, but then it became the weakest piece of the local defense. He suffered a lot in the second half. He made a clear hand in the area, after a cross by Misael Dávila, which should have been a penalty, but neither the judge nor the VAR considered it that way.
Viña: It had no major significance. The left side of the Charruas had the mission of doing the same as Cáceres on the right, but he found Fuenzalida, who blocked his way whenever he could.
Valverde: It was a constant headache for Nicolás Díaz and Sebastián Vegas, especially for the former. He almost always won in that area. He finished off the crossbar very early. Quick, quick. Uncontrollable.
Bentancur: He was the one that suffered the most when Chile lost its fear and went out to play at the Centennial. He was on the verge of the second yellow card and that is why Tabárez decided to replace him. Al owes.
Rodríguez: Incisive, annoying and dangerous. One of those strikers who cannot be neglected for a second. The partnership he formed with Valverde had no mercy on the pair between Nicolás Díaz and Sebastián Vegas.
De Arrascaeta: He played little in the game. It was not a gravitating factor as expected in the previous one. When Chile was better, it was not able to give clarity to the celestial attack. He was replaced without pain or glory.
De la Cruz: He showed some touches of talent in the first half, but in the second he declined when Chile advanced the lines. Uruguay’s withdrawal in the second half did not help him much either.
Suárez: A scorer. He hadn’t turned up until the Vegas prison. And it did not fail. However, it was not his night. The Atlético forward did not shine as on other occasions and could not take advantage of the shortcomings of the improvised defense of the Red.
Gómez: He entered at 87 ‘, when Tabárez desperately sought to penetrate the Chilean defense. And in the first one he had, he scored. He took advantage of a short clearance from Sierralta and with a strong and low right hand beat Arias.
Arias: He was able to do more in Uruguay’s second goal. Gomez’s shot is glued to his stick and it was also well placed. He had played a correct game, but the agonizing Uruguayan triumph overshadowed his day.
P. Díaz: A mistake of yours at the start led to the play of the Vegas penalty, which was later converted by Suárez. Until that moment, he hadn’t played a bad game. In the second half he fulfilled and showed his best version.
F. Sierralta: He barely fulfilled the task taking the occasional aerial ball, because that work ended up being done by Vidal. Somewhat awkward on the mark. Always on the edge of the infraction. Fortunately for him, Suárez was not in his night.
S. Vegas: In the previous one he was placed as a left back, but in the end he was central in that area. It didn’t look good. Hesitant. He had problems in the brand and in helping Nico Díaz in that sector.
N. Díaz: Rueda decided to place him on the left side and he was wrong. The defender looked uncomfortable and unsure. He couldn’t counter the skill of Valverde, who feasted on his side. He improved a bit in the second half.
C. Aránguiz: As Baeza did not score, the Prince assumed the work of the fray and lost presence in the attack. On the other hand, when Chile advanced its lines and went looking for the tie, it showed all its quality. His assistance to Alexis was exquisite.
C. Baeza: Disappeared in the first half. He was not able to interrupt any counterattack or departure from Maestro Tabárez’s team. It was a passageway for De la Cruz and De Arrascaeta. He collaborated a bit more after halftime.
A. Vidal: The best in Chile, for a change. Of the little redeemable. Key in the recovery, in the defensive aerial game and in the pressure to the celestial defense. The King does them all, but without the necessary help all his contribution is diluted.
JP Fuenzalida: Very generous, especially in defense, which prevented him from climbing more regularly. If Uruguay did not have approximations for the right sector of La Roja, it was largely due to Chapa. The UC idol justified his ownership.
E. Vargas: He had to go sacrifice. He did not have many options, although when he received with an advantage it took him a long time to decide. It was not a problem for the iron duo made up of Godín and Coates.
A. Sánchez: The historic striker for La Roja is asked for more than will and effort. Goals are asked of him. And Alexis complied. After a regular first half, where sometimes he was a glutton, he converted the tie and then let go. It was if time. La Roja had been waiting for him for a long time.
