Bielsa's side pressed Argentina so much I think they might end up round De Paul's house tonight while he's sleeping in bed. There was no room for the world champions to breathe, and they went behind in the first half after Molina got a fistful of Bielsa pressure from Viña. The full-back crushed him like sesame seed under the foot of an elephant, squeezing him against his own corner flag before robbing the ball and playing to Ronald Araujo who smashed home from close range. The game plan went superbly well for Uruguay, who did not stop running and surrounding every Argentina player at once, all across the pitch for 95 minutes. Changes were made in the second half by Scaloni and the home side, who were roared on all game by the jubilant fans, pushed for an equaliser. But it was Uruguay who would strike again, using the space in behind to take advantage for the second time. Darwin Núñez broke free, raced away from his man and slid the ball under Dibu Martínez to seal the deal and guarantee an historic win for the Uruguayans.

Joe AS.COM POSTED AT: 21:15 EST 16/11/2023 How the table looks: Argentina are still top but a shock loss by Brazil to Colombia, in which Vini Jr went off injured, has certainly shaken things up in the table! Uruguay sit second, just two points off the world champions!

He ends up winning it before clearing way from his defensive third. It smacks Acuña in the face and lands at the feet of a Uruguay shirt. One of those days.
