The Uruguayan National Team beat Panama in its debut in the Copa América and the Uruguayans are leaders of group C

Uruguay kept all its joy and tranquility until the end. Last night, he wanted to live in nervousness until the end of the game approached. They won, they are leaders of Group C of the Copa América with three points and a better goal difference with respect to the United States, but, paradoxically, they also had to suffer to achieve it. So much so that even Marcelo Bielsa, La Celeste’s coach, shouted with relief when he saw that 3-1 became the final score.

WHO SCORE THE FIRST GOAL IN THE URUGUAY VS PANAMA GAME?
Very early on, Maximiliano Araujo had put the Uruguayans ahead with a great goal from the corner, one of those that calls for a flag (16′). The Toluca footballer took the ball on the edge of the area and with a powerful shot nestled the ball. It seemed that an early victory would come in favor of the South Americans. But it wasn’t that easy.

Uruguay spoiled the canaleros so much that they grew. The characteristic Uruguayan claw stopped squeezing and harassing his opponent. The Panamanians began to gain confidence, to get closer to the goal to hint at a tie.
The minutes passed and passed. There was tension on the field, La Celeste looked lost and Panama was waiting to find a goal that would allow them to dream of adding a unit. Anyone who saw the match would think that the equality would have been fair.

Uruguay has punch, but for some strange reason it took too long to show it. It was not until the 85th minute when Darwin Núñez extended the lead to 2-0 and in the compensation the third Uruguayan was consummated, thanks to a header from Matías Viña.
Panama never surrendered. The scoreboard already looked heavy, although his tenacity was stronger and they scored. It was a great goal from Michael Murillo to generate the discount at 90+4. The score was insufficient to aspire to anything more than defeat.

The Uruguayans left with victory and a smile. Marcelo Bielsa was the only one who left uneasy. His nerves ended up broken and he just shook his fist because victory, no matter what, is still a victory.
