Uruguay vs Argentina is the highlight match of the 13th round of the South American World Cup qualifiers.
Uruguay currently has a fairly safe distance from the 7th ranked team Bolivia, when they are 7 points ahead of this opponent. The South American region has 6 places and the 2026 World Cup finals for the teams ranked from 1 to 6 in the qualifying round. A good result at home will ensure that Uruguay will be more comfortable in the following matches. However, before the strength of the reigning world champion, the home team had to accept defeat, even though their opponent did not have the service of Lionel Messi.
La Albiceleste without the services of Lionel Messi.
On the Argentine side , although La Albiceleste is in good form , they are facing personnel problems, especially the absence of superstars Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez, which will certainly reduce the attacking ability of the world champion. In this context , the goal of Lionel Scaloni and his team is to earn at least 1 point in this key match. However, La Albiceleste did more than that when they won against Uruguay on their away trip to the Centenario .
Entering the match, Argentina entered the match with determination , actively controlling the game from the first minutes. Leandro Paredes soon left an impression when he dribbled the ball and shot from a distance in the 19th minute, but unfortunately the ball went wide. Meanwhile , Uruguay also created some notable chances, especially a surprise shot by Giorgian de Arrascaeta in the 33rd minute. However, the excellent reflexes of the host Emiliano Martinez denied the home team a goal. In the following minutes, the match was tense and interrupted by fouls from both teams. The first half ended without any goals being scored.
In the second half, Uruguay took the initiative to control the midfield with solid passes, while Argentina patiently waited for a counter -attack opportunity. In the 49th minute, Thiago Almada made a clever move on the edge of the penalty area and fired a dangerous shot . However, a brilliant diving save by goalkeeper Sergio Rochet saved the home team.
Uruguay responded with a dangerous cross from Nahitan Nandez in the 59th minute, but the visitors' defence remained focused and cleared the ball away. Argentina opened the scoring in the 68th minute . Julian Alvarez played a delicate pass to Thiago Almada, who fired a tricky shot into the top corner to open the scoring for La Albiceleste .
In the following minutes, Marcelo Bielsa's team actively pushed up the squad to find an equalizer , but all stopped at the opportunity level. Meanwhile , Argentina fought hard when they were short of players to preserve the score until the end of the match. In the end , Argentina won the match with a minimum score of 1-0 right on Uruguay's field.
With an important victory over Uruguay , the Tango team has widened the gap to 6 points over the 2nd place Ecuador. Along with a 15-point gap over the 7th place Bolivia, while the World Cup qualifiers have only 5 rounds left, 99.99% Lionel Messi and his teammates will be present at the World Cup finals next year.
