    From Hard Rock Stadium, Miami:

    Saudi Arabia 1-1 Uruguay

    41' Al-Amri
    80' Ara||jo

    Missed the first half, in which Saudi Arabia went ahead with a goal by
    Al-Amri after Muslera rebounded a header on his way. The second half was
    all Uruguay (largely due to Bielsa's half-time substitutions) and their relentless pressure yielded them the equalizer at the 80'. Saudi
    Arabia's goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais was easily man of the match,
    making several key saves to keep Uruguay at bay.

    In the end Uruguay had several corner kicks and held Saudi Arabia with
    their backs against the wall past the seven minutes of time added on
    given by the referee, who was clearly only waiting the ball to be
    cleared away from the Saudi endline to blow for full time. And just as
    soon as that happened that's exactly what he did, though when that
    happened a Saudi Arabian player had a very clear, open and lonely path
    towards Muslera, as the last Uruguayan defender was near the Saudi
    penalty area...

    Technically the time was up indeed, so there really isn't any reason for
    Saudi Arabia to complain, indeed they should be happy to escape with a
    point. But now they are left wondering whether they could have taken
    three from this game.


    Best regards,

    I thought Uruguay turned in a very good second half and I think they
    will be a dangerous opponent even for Spain.
