Uruguay managed to open the lead first as the game entered the 8th minute. Rodrigo Bentancur managed to reach Sebastian Caceres’ pass to score Canada’s goal.
However, Canada managed to equalize in the 22nd minute. Ismael Kone managed to control Moise Bombito’s pass before scoring a goal for Uruguay.
After conceding, Uruguay increasingly pressed Canada’s defense. But until halftime, no further goals were scored.
After the break, Uruguay became more intense in their attacks against Canada’s backline. In fact, Canada managed to take the lead over Uruguay in the 80th minute after Jonathan David beat Sergio Rochet.
Just as the game seemed to end with Canada winning, Luis Suarez became Uruguay’s hero. He managed to score the equalizer in added time thanks to José Gimenez’s pass and took the game to penalties.
In the round of high-fives, the three Uruguayan executors successfully fulfilled their mission. Meanwhile, Ismael Kone’s penalty was saved and Alphonso Davies’ goal only hit the crossbar.
