Takeaways from Uruguay 3-1 Panama: Marcelo Bielsa’s side shows their quality
Sunday’s game was scheduled for 9pm (ET), with the temperature in Miami around 83°F (28°C) when the match kicked off.
Uruguay led 1-0 at half time thanks to Maximiliano Araujo’s 16th-minute goal, before Darwin Nunez and Matias Vina added a second and third late on. Michael Amir Murillo scored a 94th-minute consolation for Panama.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa also admitted the heat had an impact on proceedings.
“We saw that with the weather, very high humidity, it is difficult to manage the energy,” he said.
“And Uruguay depends a lot on its dynamics. But if, out of 90 minutes, we were able to impose ourselves on the game in the way we wanted for 70 or 75 minutes, then the ratio is good.”
Uruguay sit top of Group C above the USMNT by virtue of goals scored following the opening round of fixtures.
