Brazil now shares points with Uruguay
Five-time world champions Brazil last shared points with Venezuela. This time they also shared points with Uruguay. Uruguay faced them at home in the South American World Cup qualifier. Darival Junior’s team left the field with a 1-1 draw after trailing in the match.
Brazil and Uruguay faced each other at the Fonte Nova Arena in Salvador at 6:45 am Bangladesh time on Wednesday (November 20). The match was a revenge for the host Brazil. Because the two-time world champions defeated Brazil 4-2 in a tiebreaker in their last meeting in the Copa America.
But the Seleção still did not get revenge. Even in the last match of this year, Brazil played a disappointing draw against their opponents.
Today, however, coming back from behind was no small achievement for Brazil in this match. After a disjointed performance in the attack in the first half, they had to concede a goal 10 minutes into the second half. However, they came back from there. The fans saw two spectacular goals before their eyes. After conceding the goal, Brazil’s traditional attacking football was also seen. But they had to be disappointed once again due to the weakness of the forward line.
Brazil dropped to fifth in the South American qualifiers after losing a point at home. Brazil, who drew for the third time in 12 matches, has 18 points. Uruguay is second with 20 points in the draw. Meanwhile, current world champion Argentina, who beat Peru 1-0 today, is at the top with 25 points.
