Uruguay were leading the South American Qualifiers and within fifteen minutes had scored an equalizer against Bolivia.

Bielsa’s Celeste dynamism was once again on display with a new goal from Darwin Núñez, this time getting it as they advanced into the central area behind Pellistri, who spread well to the right.

The Liverpool striker is now the competition’s sole topscorer with 4 goals in 6 appearances.

Uruguay tried their best to open the score and they did it. In the 15th minute, Facundo Pellistri assisted Darwin Núñez, who confirmed the category. In the 39th minute, La Celeste increased the gap thanks to an own goal by midfielder Gabriel Villamil.

And in the 71st minute, Núñez appeared again, who declared victory after an assist from Nicolás de la Cruz.

Luis Díaz wastes Colombia’s brilliant approach: Paraguay saved

Before this important match, Néstor Lorenzo was forced to change the starting lineup against Brazil in Barranquilla. Defender Davinson Sánchez, left back Deiver Machado were replaced by Yerry Mina and Cristian Borja. Jhon Arias returns to attack after suspension, replacing Jorge Carrascal.

The match started with Muñoz in midfield, recovering the ball for Colombia, James moved down the left wing, and after a three-finger pass, Luis Díaz faced the goalkeeper. Liverpool players below the goal cannot score.

In the 81st minute, the sixth and final goal was scored. On his first appearance for the national team, Thijs Dallinga received a cross from substitute Cody Gakpo, who was playing on the left. Dallinga attempted to head it on but was unable to do so; as a result, Gakpo was given the goal because his cross went straight into the far corner.
