Uruguay has fallen alarmingly as the minutes tick by. A complete lack of play and chances.

If a goal comes, Argentina seems poised to take it. Uruguay needs a radical change in its game.

Nández arrives too late to the ball and hits Tagliafico. He earns a yellow card.

What a great pass from Julián! Almada couldn't finish the ball as he would have liked.

VALVERDE AND ARAÚJO HAD IT!! Two attempts, but they never tested Dibu. The defense was resolute in trying to keep the ball away.

Nández's cross is poisoned by Paredes with a touch and Romero sends it to the corner.

Rodríguez takes Pellistri's place. Bielsa now has only one window left.

Great work from Bentancur off the ball. He's in great physical form and covers a lot of ground.

Two minutes are added.

A small brawl broke out in the middle of the pitch! It all started with a hard foul by Enzo, and then came the goal-scoring opportunity that Giménez saved.

There are already a couple of very serious warnings from Argentina. Uruguay has entered a very cold stretch of play and could pay dearly for it.

Giménez prevents a goal from the ground! The clearest chance of the match!

It's De Arrascaeta who's injured! De la Cruz takes his teammate's place at Flamengo.

De la Cruz is already preparing to enter the match. It appears Valverde will be unable to continue.

Otamendi's forced header goes wide. The game opens up somewhat, but there are few chances.

What a strike from Simeone! He placed a powerful ball almost on the goal line, but it went in. Rochet was very alert to clear it.

Now Valverde goes to take the corner. He shouldn't be doing too badly. El Dibu saves his shot.

For the moment, the Real Madrid midfielder seems to be continuing without problems, but he should not be at 100%.

Be careful, Valverde seems to be having physical problems. He made a bad gesture and his face is worried.

A SHOT FROM DE ARRASCAETA!! Valverde found him on the edge of the box and the shot was a piece of cake for Dibu.

Max Araújo did a terrible job! He got into the box with space, but he stalled, and Molina took the ball away from him.

Both Argentine players are recovering, although Dibu is still limping after the blow to his knee.

What a clash between Tagliafico and Dibu! The goalkeeper came out to clear the ball and after heading it, he collided with his teammate.

FERNÁNDEZ SHOOTS! A soft shot that doesn't cause any problems for Rochet.

A very poor pass from De Arrascaeta when several teammates were waiting to head it in the area.

A rather harsh tackle on Nández. The referee hasn't issued a yellow card so far.

For now, defensive actions are more important than skill on the ball. Now, Pellistri has worked to keep the ball away.

Valverde has barely intervened . The limited space he has hasn't allowed him to be decisive in any of the defensive drives or second-line arrivals.

Enzo Fernández makes a poor pass and complains about the state of the pitch, which is causing irregular bounces.

SHOTS WALLS FROM DISTANCE! The ball went way wide.

Olivera made a great run, now with more space until he entered the box. The defense was able to clear his cross.

No one spared any effort. Darwin dropped back to defend his own end line to block Otamendi 's attack.

For the first time, Uruguay reached the final meters, but Maxi Araújo 's cross was too far over the line and no one could finish it.

A very close match; it looks like it'll be difficult to find the first chance. Both teams have the utmost respect for each other.

A very hard crash and Pellistri comes off in pain. Mac Allister is also lying on the field.

Now Argentina no longer presses in the opponent's half, and Uruguay doesn't want to risk vertical passes.

Araújo's close cross and Dibu makes an easy save to quickly release the ball.

Uruguay is once again enjoying long possession, and now their opponents are looking more cautious.

Julián tried to bring the ball down, but his control wasn't good. No one is taking the initiative now.

Intense pressure from Julián on Giménez and the forward wins the ball.

The Celeste are playing and playing. They're quick on their passes, but so far they're not managing to break into the box.

Pellistri 's cross is very tight and Dibu makes the save without any problems.

Summer is coming to an end in the Southern Hemisphere, and it's confirmed that the course is feeling the effects of the heat of recent weeks . It's not in good condition.

Uruguay tries to take the ball. And Argentina puts intensity into its pressure.
