The Uruguayan national team, currently managed by Marcelo Bielsa, achieved an important victory over Nicaragua in an international friendly match during the FIFA date. The 'Celeste' shone with a great level and was superior in all its lines against the 'Pinoleros'. Brian Rodríguez, at 56', was in charge of scoring the 3-0 in favor of the Uruguayan team at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo.
The action started with a great play by Matías Arezo, who was in charge of opening the scoring in the Uruguayan stadium. The Peñarol forward stood out with a great individual play, and then passed the ball to Maximiliano Araújo, who quickly assisted Brian Rodríguez.
The América forward received the ball in front of the opponent's goal. As expected, the 23-year-old player did not miss the opportunity and connected a powerful right-footed shot to make it 3-0 in favor of Marcelo Bielsa's team at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo.
