Uruguay topped Hungary 2-1 last week with Edinson Cavani and Brian Rodriguez finding the net. They dominated the match from start to finish, controlling 64 percent of possession time and attempting 20 shots in the process. La Celeste is unbeaten in five matches since this summer’s Copa America, winning three times and drawing twice during that span.
Lionel Messi scored the lone goal in his side’s 1-0 win over rivals Brazil in Saudi Arabia. It was the 69th international goal of his illustrious career. Just like their opponents, the Argentinians too are unbeaten since CONMEBOL’s showcase tournament this summer.
While sports may not be the biggest concern surrounding this friendly, it still means something. This very well may be the most high-profile soccer match ever played in this area of the world. A sell out happened soon after tickets went on sale, with over 30,000 tickets sold.
