Uruguay held to a draw, South Americans still winless in the Copa
South American football is still without a win at this 2026 World Cup.
This Monday (15), Uruguay drew with Saudi Arabia in its tournament debut.
Abdulelah Al-Amri opened the scoring for the Green Falcons late in the first half. Maximiliano Araújo equalized for La Celeste in the second half.
The Uruguayan team struggled to create scoring chances throughout the match, but fought back for the equalizer and, in the final minutes, put Saudi Arabia under heavy pressure. Saudi Arabia managed to hold on to the 1-1 draw, with goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais being kept very busy.
Both teams are in Group H, alongside Spain and Cape Verde, who also drew earlier on Monday.
The World Cup has already seen the debuts of four Conmebol teams, with two losses and two draws:
- United States 4 x 1 Paraguay
- Brazil 1 x 1 Morocco
- Ivory Coast 1 x 0 Ecuador
- Saudi Arabia 1 x 1 Uruguay
On Tuesday (16), it will be Argentina’s turn to begin its title defense and make its debut at this year’s World Cup, facing Algeria.
Colombia will wrap up South America’s participation in the first round of the group stage on Wednesday (17), against Uzbekistan.
