Uruguay National Football Team vs Cuba National Football Team Lineups 21 June 2023. In Bielsa’s first game since taking charge of the Uruguay national team, his side produced an impressive performance and secured a comfortable victory. Despite missing key forwards Edinson Cavani, Luis Suarez, and Darwin Nunez, as well as midfielder Federico Valverde, Uruguay dominated the match from the beginning.
The scoring started with a goal from the same player who later missed a penalty, Matias Arezo. His early goal set the tone for Uruguay’s attacking prowess. Rodrigo Zalazar added to the lead seven minutes before halftime, making it 2-0 for the home side.
Even though the opposition might not have been of the highest quality, Uruguay displayed a fluid and dominant style of play throughout the game. The absence of their notable frontmen and Valverde did not hinder their performance, and they comfortably controlled the match.
