Uruguay could not get past a goalless draw against the bottom team in the South American qualifiers, Venezuela, but they earned one point which takes them to 28 points, putting them on the doorstep of the World Cup in Russia.
In the first half, both teams had opportunities to score, but the finishers were not accurate.
Near the end of the match, the Celeste seemed satisfied with the draw and ceded control to Venezuela, who showed a lot of desire but few ideas.
In one of the last plays of the match, PSG striker Edinson Cavani could have given his team the victory, but his shot inside the box went wide.
