There was little display in the victory by the minimum score of Uruguay against Jamaica, in the start of Group B, and in fact the Central Americans caused more than one headache to the 'Celeste'.
That's why the hierarchy of Diego Godín, defender of Atlético de Madrid, had to appear to put order against the speed of the Jamaican attackers who at some point were hopeful of getting a point.
His work was key in the end, when Jamaica, after having a couple of clear aerial arrivals, tried to search through that way, but managed to keep the line well and protect Muslera.
After the match, the 29-year-old player saw the victory "with optimism. We have to correct the mistakes and keep doing things well".
Godín made it clear that he expected a tight match. "Debuts are always complicated, no matter the team. It's a positive result".
Another relevant player was Cristian Rodríguez, who made a great effort, in fact he came out tired at 63 minutes, but scored the winning goal at 51' with a timely finish in the small area.
"It is clear that it was not easy". said the "Cebolla". "It was not our best afternoon, we faced an opponent who were all running".
