2023-06-15 03:49:58

In a comfortable match, Marcelo Bielsa made his debut on the bench for Uruguay with a resounding 4-1 win over Nicaragua, by Chilean Marco Antonio Figueroain the framework of an international friendly.

The celestial squad celebrated at the Centenario Stadium with a clear dominance in the actions. In general, the “blue and white” might not break through the central parallel, and felt the early first blow, work of Matías Azezo at minute 8following a great collective play. Bielsa did not flinch before the conquest.

At 26′ there might have been another local target, with a penalty by Marvin Fletes on Maximiliano Araújo. The shout of celebration was drowned, because goalkeeper Miguel Rodríguez contained Zalazar’s shot.

With a lot of calm in the game, the Orientals climbed to Central American territory and they achieved the second goal of the night. Nicaragua had a free kick in favor, but captain Juan Barrera gave away the ball. Facundo Pellistri started on the counter and Rodrigo Zalazar scored (36′).

A curious situation occurred at halftime, as Nicaragua returned to the field in due time and form, but the Uruguayan team took a few minutes to jump onto the pitch. Figueroa ordered his team to return to the dressing room due to the delay. Just when the visitors finished entering the tunnel, the light blues came onto the playing field.

The referees had to go down to the tunnels to go look for the Concacaf team and start the second fraction.

The first minutes of the complement were for Nicaraguawith possession of the ball and climbs to the last meters of the opponent’s terrain. However, everything was diluted with the partial 3-0, via a goal by Brian Rodríguez following a good hold and a pass from Emiliano Martínez (56′).

With ease on the pitch and a party atmosphere, Uruguay dropped several substitutions and did not rush to steal the ball, although that was not necessary either, as they generated various occasions that remained in the “almost almost” looking for the fourth celebration.

Finally, the 4-0 fell at the feet of Zalazar at 82′who with a notable shot from outside the area completed a double and left Rodríguez without options.

For the statistics, the visiting discount was left, the work of Luis Coronel in additional time (90 + 1′).

In this way, Bielsa began his cycle at the helm of La Celeste, which will face Cuba on Tuesday, June 20 in a second friendly before the start of the Qualifying once morest Chile.
