Uruguay aims to win the Copa America 2024. This South American giant played confidently in the opening match against Panama.
Uruguay under coach Marcelo Bielsa plays aggressively, attacking with dedication. Playing with a squad of many stars, including Nunez, Valverde, Pellistri and Araujo, the South American team took the initiative against Panama.
With much better personnel quality, it is not surprising that Uruguay attacked effectively. In the 16th minute, Maximiliano Araujo scored a masterpiece with an extremely technical kick, helping the South American team advance.
During the time that followed, Uruguay still completely controlled the match. Many opportunities were created by the blue shirt team. However, this was an ungrateful match for striker Darwin Nunez as he squandered many opportunities. Because of that, the first half ended with a 1-goal advantage for the South American representative.
The second half saw the initiative belonging to Panama when the representative of North Central America created many opportunities but could not take advantage. In the 85th minute, striker Darwin Nunez threw his foot to score beautifully, doubling the gap for Uruguay.
At minute 90+1, Matias Vina also scored another goal for Uruguay. For their part, Panama got an honorable goal in the 90+4 minute after Murillo’s basic handling. The match ended with an impressive victory for Nunez and his teammates.
