Argentina vs. Uruguay: Rodrigo De Paul scored 2-0 for the ‘Albiceleste’ | VIDEO

The Argentine team was able to show a solid game against Uruguay and get ahead on the scoreboard before the break. In the first instance, Lionel Messi broke the parity and then Rodrigo De Paul appeared, to finish a good collective move that they built with patience.

The Uruguayan team had to risk more to reach at least a draw in a short time, but they ended up giving up spaces. It was thus that at 43 minutes, the ‘Albiceleste’ began to combine passes in three quarters of the court, initially with Giovani Lo Celso, who looked a few meters behind for Lionel Messi.

The ‘Flea’ had two men nearby who came to mark him, which is why he decided to touch quickly forward, although he did not have good precision. The pass he gave was tainted by the defense of Uruguay, although he also reached the position of Lautaro Martínez, who returned tonight to the starting eleven.

The forward, wanting to celebrate a goal, tried to finish first from the crescent of the area, but he was not fine and only made a blunder. However, indirectly, he managed to pass between the lines for Rodrigo De Paul, who was attentive and ran with speed towards the goal of Fernando Muslera.

The ball fell softly on the penalty spot and the Atlético Madrid midfielder was able to define calmly, despite the desperate sweep of Matías Viña. The fans present at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires celebrated in a big way, since the victory in this new edition of the ‘Clásico de la Plata’ is very close.
