The team of Uruguay began their participation in the World Cup 2026 with a draw with Saudi Arabia (1:1), after the final whistle there was no shortage of respect for the result.

As Opta reports, the All-American team has achieved a statistical feat that has not been seen in the world championships since the last century.

In the other half, the Uruguayans had 22 shots on goal against their opponents. This is the greatest performance for one team in one half in a world championship match since 1974.

There will be more hits in one half of the World Cup victory against the NDR team. At the 1974 World Championships in a match against Chile, the similar Germans scored 24 shots in the first half, and then each team could not overcome or even repeat this result.

In the face of total superiority after the break, Uruguay has no idea of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200breaching a rival. Maximiliano Araujo scored a goal at the Celeste warehouse, also scoring for Saudi Arabia Abdulel Al-Amri.
