On the morning of January 28, Beijing time, the World Cup South America World Preliminary Tournament continued, with Uruguay away to Paraguay. After 90 minutes, Uruguay relied on Suarez's goal to win 1-0 against Paraguay and once again reach the top 4 of the table.
The Competition in the South American World Preliminary Tournament was fierce, with only 2 points apart from Colombia in 4th place to 8th place before this round. Since there are only 4 places in the South American zone that advance directly, these 5 teams will compete for the fourth place in the division.
For Uruguay, a regular world cup visitor, this World Cup journey is very difficult. Due to the aging of the main squad, Uruguay has repeatedly lost points in the game, and the veteran coach Tavares has been dismissed early and failed to lead Uruguay to the World Cup again.
Uruguay were only three points ahead of their opponents before the match against Paraguay, and could even be overtaken by their opponents if they lost. On the starting list for the match, Uruguayan coach Diego Alonso sent a combination of Suarez and Nunez. In the first half, Suarez was Uruguay's number one attacking point when his header hit the crossbar and a free-kick hit his opponent's arm. However, after 45 minutes of fighting, the two sides could only exchange blanks 0-0 to return to the locker room.
Back in the second half, Uruguay finally broke the deadlock on the pitch. Paraguay made a mistake at the back and Su Ya had a one-handed chance to help the team take a 1-0 lead when he kept the ball in front of the goal. This one goal helped Uruguay win three points, and this is likely to be the key goal for them to reach the World Cup.
Earlier, the 35-year-old Suarez had said it would be his last World Cup journey this year. At this age, the famous football player is still an indispensable thigh figure in Uruguay. Once Uruguay enter the World Cup at the end of the year, Sioux will be the 4th in the world's greatest football tournament.
After Uruguay won three points, they overtook three teams and suddenly became the 4th place in the tournament. However, from the actual situation, Uruguay wants to qualify for the World Cup is still very difficult. Colombia and Peru, behind Uruguay, are only two points behind in a one-game deficit. Chile and Bolivia also have the possibility of promotion.
