In a game that went from more to less and where Diego Alonso gave way to unusual players, Uruguay equaled zero goals with USA at the close of their friendly matches in the North American country.
The only player who lined up in this match and in which Uruguay thrashed Mexico 3-0 was Josema Giménez, who had to leave in the first half after feeling muscle discomfort.
The start of the commitment had a dynamic meeting where the “celeste” fully dominated. Guillermo Varela was one of the most interesting cards of Alonso’s to attack. The former Peñarol side was involved in two plays that almost ended in a goal. First a pass to Cáceres who lifted the ball for Darwin Núñez, who did not make it. Then, Varela himself crossed for Maxi Gómez, who headed the ball just over the goal.
At 10 minutes the national team had another clear chance at the feet of Diego Godín, who defined, but ran into Deandre Yedlin, who cleared on the line.
The United States reacted and, at the feet of Christian Pulisic, created danger for the goal defended by Muslera. Jesús Ferreira demanded the Galatasaray goalkeeper twice, but he responded well.
After the powerful start the game gradually faded and the match fell into a thick and bland rhythm. The first half did not provide more chances after 23 minutes and by the second half there was practically nothing to highlight.
little and nothing
In the 64th minute, Gorriarán missed a very clear chance, but goalkeeper Johnson responded in a great way.
The coaches touched on the alternatives and gave minutes to other players to see if the situation on the court changed, but far from that, the match only lost pace.
However, Uruguay was able to win it in the last of the match. Federico Valverde assisted Núñez in a great way, who instead of defining preferred to assist Cavani, who arrived demanding the ball and finished wide, going wide.
With de Cavani’s mistake, the meeting ended and with it, his time in North America ended.
