Luis Suarez's goal brought a "sky-blue" victory over the team of Juan Antonio Pizzi (1: 0).
The program of the second round was continued by representatives of the quartet A - the team of Juan Antonio Pizzi was going to prove that the crushing defeat from the Russian national team was an accident. Both mentors did several permutations. With the Uruguayan team, it touched the flanks of midfield, and Pizzi approached the rotation more globally.
From the debut minutes, the teams did not show high speeds, but the first moment appeared quickly enough - Edinson Cavani punched after a lumbago from the flank, but the ball went well above the gate. In the middle of the half-time, the "sky-blue" were able to come forward - the guard of the gates of the nominal guests played unsuccessfully at the exit, and Luis Suarez easily sent the ball into the empty net. 1: 0. "Eagles of the Desert" were able to organize an answer, but Bakhrib's blow from a favorable position was not enough accuracy.
In the future Uruguayans gave the initiative and tried to catch an opponent on the counter-attack. Note that at the end of the half-time Al-Jassim stumbled and pulled the back of the thigh. You can only wish a health linebacker. Quite ridiculous injuries are accompanied by this Mundial. On the rest of the team left with a minimum advantage of the national team of Uruguay.
The second half began at a fairly low pace, and dangerous moments arose at the end of the hour of the game, when Laxalt did not have time to hit the position, and Sanchez's attempt was not enough accuracy. Uruguayans in the future played fairly neatly, and the "eagles of the desert" simply could not crack the enemy's defense. Toward the close of the meeting, Cavani fell to the shock position in another's penalty, but Al-Uwais team rescued. The final whistle of Clement Turpin recorded the victory of the national team of Uruguay.
