translated from Spanish: Uruguay and Paraguay tied goalless in Montevideo

Uruguay gave this Thursday to Paraguay a 0-0 draw in the Centenario stadium that leaves both teams with the same 7 points after a fought game and few goal situations corresponding to the seventh date of the South American qualifiers of the World Cup in Qatar.Hoy the goalkeepers were almost spectators and barely had participation. With the first minute of play not yet over, Uruguay quickly looked for Luis Suarez, who turned from the centre to the left. On the other side, full-back Omar Alderete threw himself down the left trying to connect with Miguel Almirón and With Angel Romero, the scorer of the albirroja in the qualifiers. Guarded by three centre-backs, the sky-blue full-backs went ahead on the pitch and helped the midfielders so that those led by Óscar Washington Tabárez could constantly press the exit from the back of their rival. On the ten minutes, after a far free kick executed in a great way by Federico Valverde, Suarez missed the first goal inside the penalty area in incredible form. That was the first warning of the Atletico Madrid.Paraguay player did not stay behind and responded first with a powerful shot from Angel Romero that blew fernando Muslera and then with a header from Alderete that the goalkeeper stopped without problems. With the match tied without goals, Jonathan Rodriguez took advantage of a pass inside the area from Matias Vecino and beat Antony Silva. However, the cry of the Uruguayans was extinguished when the assistant raised his flag marking a forward position of Viña that generated many doubts. The Palmeiras full-back did not touch the ball at any point in the play and it was never clear if it bothered the goalkeeper’s vision in front of a shot from Suarez.In the last 20 minutes of the first half, the match was parked in the middle of the field and the danger options disappeared completely. Rodrigo Bentancur saw the yellow card and was suspended for the match between Venezuela and Uruguay next day. At the start of the second half, the game did not change and the ball was once again away from the areas. The coaches tried to change with variants that were more offensive on the side of the home team. The entry of Facundo Torres gave more play to Uruguay, who came close once again through Suarez. On the day of his debut, the young Peñarol midfielder tried to handle the ball and constantly pushed his team, albeit with little success. Paraguay opted for the counterattack with the speed of Almirón, but the English Newcastle player was well controlled by José María Giménez and Diego Godín.With the two teams well back, the situations did not come anywhere and the match ended up leaving with a draw without goals. In this way, Uruguay was left without winning the second of three meetings. .
