Luis Suárez missed the tie: he failed in front of the goal in Uruguay vs. Portugal | VIDEO

The Uruguayan team falls by the slightest difference in Portugal, on the second date of Group H of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, and advanced their lines to find parity. One of the clearest offensive plays was carried out by Luis Suárez, who could not finish off with precision in front of the goal.

Around 77 minutes, those led by Diego Alonso had a free kick down the left wing and it meant a great opportunity to inflate the nets. Giorgian De Arrascaeta, who had entered at 62′, was in charge of executing and took a cross towards the first post, in an action that seemed to be prepared.

Maximiliano Gómez, also with little time on the grass of the Lusail Iconic Stadium, launched himself from ‘dove’ to try to comb the ball and generated the distraction of all the Portuguese defenders. The ball continued its journey, reached the six-yard box and Luis Suárez was well positioned to define.

However, the ‘Pistolero’, hurried by Pepe’s mark, shot towards goalkeeper Diogo Costa’s right post and wasted the clear chance of scoring. The experienced striker, understanding that he did not have adequate precision, held his head and looked at the sky, as a sign of regret.

With the partial victory, the Portugal team ensures its qualification to the round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup: it has six points and, in the worst case, it will occupy second place. For its part, Uruguay is left with only one unit and is forced to beat Ghana in the last day, although it will depend on what South Korea does.
