That’s because Arrascaeta scored a goal and provided an assist in Monday’s match (28), while Varela was involved in two of the team’s goals. As a result, the Flamengo players were key to Uruguay’s victory.

How did the first half of Uruguay vs South Korea go?

Even playing away from home, Uruguay controlled the match in the opening half. In the 13th minute, Arrascaeta controlled the ball and delivered a beautiful pass to Darwin Núñez, who opened the scoring. Then, in the 27th minute, Maxi Araújo played it to the No. 10 at the edge of the box, and the Flamengo player finished classily into the left corner of the opposing goalkeeper’s net.

Finally, in the 43rd minute of the first half, Varela burst down the right side of Uruguay’s attack and entered the box all alone. Defender Kim Min-jae, however, tried to make the tackle and ended up putting the ball into his own net.

What about the second half?

With the scoreline built in the first half, Uruguay managed the match in the final period. In the 17th minute, Varela received the ball and sent in a perfect cross for Darwin Núñez, who headed home unmarked. Finally, in the 80th minute, Lee Kang-in pulled one back for South Korea.

How many minutes did Arrascaeta and Varela play?

Arrascaeta played 77 minutes in the match between Uruguay and South Korea, while Varela played the full 90. It is worth noting that, in the 3-1 loss to Japan on Thursday (24), the No. 10 played 22 minutes, while the full-back was not used by Diego Forlán.

When will Uruguay play again?

With Arrascaeta and Varela available, Uruguay will return to the field on October 6 to face India in the last friendly of this FIFA international window. The match will take place at 11 a.m. (Brasília time) at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
