After the opening, Uruguay, who is ranked 17th in the world, dominated by counter-attackers, frequently took advantage of corner kick opportunities to seek headers in the box. Godin's header tested the Paraguayan goalkeeper in the 15th minute, and just one minute later Uruguay had the best chance of the first half. Uruguay drove in a corner kick from the left and the teammate at the back post crossed unguarded to the better-placed Suarez, who flicked his head at close range but accidentally hit the crossbar. In the 25th minute, Godin's header hit the neutral post again, and Besino's follow-up shot was deflected by the goalkeeper.
Neither team managed well in the first half, but after a midfield adjustment, Uruguay, which was more aggressive, took the lead as desired. Uruguay sent a long pass over the top as soon as the midfielder received the ball, Suarez was astute to step forward, using the ghostly running position and the acceleration of the moment to gain a positional lead, and then he took advantage of the situation into the box, and his left foot pumped vigorously at a small angle, and the ball crossed the ten fingers of the Paraguayan goalkeeper and went straight to the far bottom corner of the goal, and the score on the court became 1-0.
However, the score did not satisfy the Uruguayan fans, who replaced the striker Cavani in the 70th minute to expand the results. In the 71st minute, Suarez swam to the left side to launch an attack, using Cavani's lead in the penalty area, Su Shen decisively hoisted his right foot into the penalty area, although Cavani at the front point did not get the first drop point, but successfully took away two defenders, the back point Oliveira faced the half-empty goal, but was bravely defused by the Uruguayan goalkeeper, Uruguay missed the opportunity. Fortunately, in the final stage, Uruguay firmly held the winning country and closed the victory with a score of 1-0.
In this game, the physical confrontation between the two sides is quite fierce, and the attack and defense conversion speed is extremely fast, so the possession rate of the two teams is showing a situation of five or five. However, Uruguay scored 16 shots on goal in the whole game, while the home side Paraguay only had 8, which shows that Uruguay, sitting on Suarez, is still the more efficient attacking side. Four players from each team received a yellow card in the whole game, and the Paraguayan players also received a red card, which shows the intensity of the game. Due to colombia's defeat in this round, Uruguay rose to fifth place in the table after this campaign, successfully advancing to the play-off zone, only one point away from fourth-place Peru.
As the double champion of the World Cup and the most successful team in the history of the Copa America, Uruguay has won a total of 15 titles, but in recent years, with the aging of Suarez, Cavani and Godin generation, Uruguay is facing a phenomenon of lack of success, which has also led to a great reduction in the team's combat effectiveness. However, The timely outbreak of Suarez still allows Uruguay to be invincible, and Atletico will be very happy to see Su Shen in such a good state, after all, his goal efficiency in the team this season is quite sluggish, and he has not won for a long time, and if he can regain the feeling of scoring in this World Preliminary Tournament, it will be of great benefit to Atletico in the second half of the competition.
