In a preparatory friendly for the 2026 World Cup, Uruguay defeated the Dominican Republic 1-0 at Bukit Jalil Stadium in Malaysia this Friday. The Uruguayans had four players from Brazilian football available, including midfielder Emiliano Martínez and winger Facundo Torres, both from Palmeiras.
According to Sofascore, the Palmeiras duo had a discreet performance. Facundo Torres, who started and played the first 45 minutes, missed six passes and lost the ball 11 times.
Meanwhile, Emiliano Martínez started as a substitute and came on at halftime. The midfielder did not miss a single pass out of the 48 attempted, but was not very participative in the match.
Laquintana was one of the highlights of the Uruguayan team in the match. The striker from Red Bull Bragantino scored the only goal of the match, and although he was not very active, he hit the target twice.
On the other hand, the defender Puma Rodríguez from Vasco was rated as one of the worst on the field by the statistics-specialized website. He played only in the first half, lost the ball ten times and missed eight passes.
This Sunday, Uruguay returns to the field against Universidad Católica in Santiago, Chile, starting at 7 PM (Brasília time). On the other hand, the Dominican Republic has no more matches scheduled for the FIFA Date and is also already eliminated from the Concacaf Qualifiers.
