3) Uruguay missed Luis Suarez
Trending
Barcelona ace Luis Suarez was ruled out of Uruguay’s opening game to Mexico with a hamstring injury that he sustained during the Copa del Rey final few days ago, and his absence was sorely felt by the Blues as they struggled to find the net.
Uruguay were on the back-foot for the initial few minutes of the match but slowly crawled their way back into it. Carlos Sanchez and Edinson Cavani came close to scoring but lacked the cutting edge that the Barcelona forward normally brings.
La Celeste huffed and puffed, and found the equaliser through their captain Diego Godin when Sanchez whipped in a superb cross into the box. Until then, Oscar Tabarez's side left a lot to be desired in the attack despite all the efforts.
