Arrascaeta shines, but suffers injury in Uruguay match | OneFootball

Uruguay defeated South Korea 4-1 on the morning of Monday the 28th, in the country’s second friendly during the FIFA international break. The match marked Diego Forlán’s first victory in charge of the national team. The standout performers this morning were Arrascaeta and Guillermo Varela, both Flamengo players.

The goals in the match featured direct involvement from the red-and-black players. Uruguay took the field looking to erase the poor image left by their first game of the FIFA international break, when they were beaten 3-1 by Japan.

With that in mind, Darwin Núñez opened the scoring in the 13th minute. The key detail is that the assist for Uruguay’s first goal came from Arrascaeta. Flamengo’s number 10 was in the spotlight again in the 27th minute of the first half. Arrascaeta struck from outside the box and fired a beautiful shot to score the second goal.

From that moment on, Flamengo full-back Guillermo Varela became even more involved in the match. In the closing minutes of the first half, Varela surged down the right, broke into the box, and scored his first goal for the Uruguayan national team.

Uruguay was in complete control and, in the second half, saw Guillermo Varela once again become an important figure on the field. The Flamengo player delivered a cross for Núñez to score his second goal of the match.

Is Arrascaeta a concern?

Arrascaeta was having a great game until he left the field in the 32nd minute of the second half. The player injured his wrist and came off in a lot of pain. The midfielder will undergo tests and be re-evaluated. Flamengo is monitoring the situation, but has not yet received any information from the Uruguayan national team’s medical department.
