Uruguay overwhelmed Venezuela 4-1 this Monday in the South American U-20 and secured the first of the four places in the region for the World Cup of the category that the tournament delivers.
A penalty goal by Fabricio Díaz (18) opened the way for Celeste, first classified by South America to the World Cup that will be played between May and June in Indonesia.
The Real Madrid Castilla forward Álvaro Rodríguez (35, 78) and Ignacio Sosa (44) were in charge of breaking the equality that Venezuela had temporarily reached with their own goal from twelve steps from Brayan Alcocer (34).
Both penalties came after very light touches in the area that the Brazilian judge Braulio Da Silva Machado sanctioned, in a match played at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo in Bogotá.
After winning on the third date, the Charrúas continue with a perfect score (9) in the final hexagonal. Venezuela has only one point and clings to a miracle to qualify for the World Cup.
Brazil, which has six points, played later against Paraguay (1). If they win, Canarinha will keep the second ticket to Indonesia-2023 in South America.
The hosts Colombia (3) and Ecuador (0) met in the last round at Estadio El Campín, also in Bogotá.
In addition to the World Cup slots, three tickets to the Pan American Games that will be held between October and November in Santiago are at stake. (D)
