Cavani scored Uruguay’s 1-0 win over Panama in a friendly match | VIDEO

The Uruguayan national team continues its preparation for the Qatar 2022 World Cup against Panama. The ‘Celeste’, which is motivated by the encouragement of its fans at the Centenario Stadium, started the match with great intensity and has already opened the scoring.

At 39 minutes, Giorgian De Arrascaeta starred in a great individual play down the center and combined with Facundo Pellistri who returned the ball to him. Then, the Flamengo midfielder took advantage of the goalkeeper’s departure to assist Edinson Cavani.

The ‘Matador’ only pushed the ball in front of the unguarded goal and thus unleashed the hubbub in the venue. After inflating the nets, the striker went to the stands to celebrate with the Uruguayan fans.

Uruguay vs. Panama: previous

The ‘Celeste’ wanted to say goodbye to their public in style in the last match they will play at home against the Qatar 2022 World Cup. However, the ‘charrúa’ cast struggled to find an opponent, as the chances against Jamaica, Iran or Zambia fell . Then, the possibility arose of measuring the ‘Canaleros’, who will be presented with an alternative picture

Uruguay faces the match without Luis Suárez and Rodrigo Bentancur for medical reasons. But coach Diego Alonso, who has accumulated five wins and a draw in the six games he coached, places his trust in Edinson Cavani and Darwin Núñez, protagonists in the 3-0 win against Mexico and the goalless draw against the United States.

For its part, Panama comes up with an alternate team due to commitments in the Concacaf Nations League, in which it will visit Martinique next Sunday. The team will be made up of players from the local league and U-20 and will be led by the Venezuelan Ángel Sánchez, assistant to the principal Thomas Christiansen.
