The Uruguayan team, led by Marcelo Bielsa, defeated with authority this Thursday 0-2 against Argentina, which lost its undefeated record in the qualifiers, although not the leadership, but was more exposed to its rivals. With goals from Ronald Araújo and Darwin Núñez, Uruguay achieved a historic double in a row since they had just defeated Brazil by the same score in the Montevideo Centennial.
Uruguay as a visitor to Argentina, Uruguay imposed its high pressure from the beginning of the match to the point that in the 9th minute it had its first option to open the scoring with a speedy arrival from Darwin Núñez, beating Nicolás Otamendi with a shot that was It was barely diverted. The answer came just three minutes later with a shot that was well-placed by Rochet. Then there was tension between several players from both teams after a blow to Nicolás González's face.
From that moment on, Lionel Messi argued with Manuel Ugarte and Mathias Olivera to the point that he asked for the ball in the 22nd minute and generated a free kick on the edge of the area that hit the barrier after the Inter Miami player himself executed it. An explosive run by Núñez ended with a cross that required a fair cross from Nicolás Tagliafico before the arrival of Pellistri.
This goal marked Uruguay's victory over Argentina in a result that provoked Lionel Messi's fury, which he carried over into post-game interviews where he accused Uruguayan footballers of disrespecting him in statements that are going around the world.
