With pure claw and goal, Uruguay started by beating Chile in the South American Under-20

Uruguay made their debut this Sunday with a 3-0 victory against Chile for the second round of Group B of the South American Under-20 2023, which is played in Colombia.

Those led by Marcelo Broli, who had a day off in the first round, achieved a comfortable victory at the Deportivo Cali stadium in the city of Palmyra (southwest) with a great first half, where they settled the lawsuit.

Two goals in the first ten minutes of the game put Celeste ahead. A strike from captain Fabricio Díaz (4 minutes) and another from Luciano Rodríguez (7) from outside the area quickly sealed the distance.

Those led by former footballer Patricio Ormazábal regained control for a moment, but did not find the cracks in the defense to be able to serve.

And the Uruguayans were faster and stronger and found the third goal after 39 minutes, when they put pressure on the Chilean exit, stole the ball and a whip from Damián García went through the goal and crossed the net through a corner near the pole, leaving everyone perplexed.

The third goal destabilized the Chileans, who lost coordination and precision before heading out to the showers in a bad mood.

Urged to change her image, La Roja came out in the second half looking for a quick discount but was unsuccessful.

Uruguay, for its part, began to adjust and waited on the pitch, letting time pass to maintain the easy victory against an inactive Chile.

With the win, Charrúas were second in Group B with three points in a game played, behind Ecuador, who have four in two games.

Chile had just drawn 1-1 with Ecuador and after two presentations have one point, behind Bolivia (3) and only above Venezuela (0).

The first three of group B access the final hexagon of the South American, which guarantees four places for the Under 20 World Cup, which will be played in Indonesia between May and June.
