Euskaraz irakurri: Euskal Selekzioak 1-1 berdindu du Uruguairekin

The Euskal Selekzioa tied 1-1 with Uruguay the match that both teams played in San Mames on March 23. The 35,461 people Those who came to the Cathedral were able to experience a beautiful spectacle and a vibrant meeting.

The match started off electric, as nothing else could be expected between Marcdelo Bielsa’s team and a team that wants to claim itself as the Basque team. By the minute of play, Uruguay had already caused their first corner and before the quarter hour was up, Adu Ares and Canobbio had threatened to open the scoring with two diagonals finished with two high shots. The home team’s game was tighter, which came from the left wing, and the visitor’s game was more hasty, who started from the right after a recovery in the ‘tricolor’ midfield line.

The clash stopped somewhat and after the halfway mark of the first half Sola scored the first goal of the game, but it was annulled due to a clear offside in which he had taken advantage of a rebound from the Israel goalkeeper with a shot from Djaló’s edge.

After a header off Méndez, a corner from Zalazar, and a shot from Iván Martín blocked by the Uruguayan defense, Uruguay also scored. And it was also canceled. Although on that occasion the offside, if there was any, was more than tight. Luciano Rodríguez was the one who had lodged the ball in Agirrezabala’s goal, in another corner taken by Zalazar that touched the near post with Canobbio’s header.

Adu Ares threatened again from the edge of the area, after a beautiful one-two with Iván Martín, and, when it seemed that the break was going to be goalless, Djaló scored 1-0 After controlling the ball inside the area, he turns around and beats the Israel goalkeeper.

If in the first half it took the Celeste just 50 seconds to approach the tricolor goal, in the second they did it even faster: only 13. And also achieving the tie. It was a center from the right by Varela that Vecino shot into the net after a failure in Elustondo’s clearance (1-1).

The cadence was repeated with good headers from Facundo Torres and Villalibre, to good crosses from Varela and Roberto Torres, which neither of them could connect enough to direct them to the goal.

A blunt shot by Zarraga, after a wall with Moncayola, preceded two last celestial chances. A header hit the post by Luciano Rodríguez, a cross by Nández, and a shot by De Arrascaeta entering the area after doubts in Imanol’s clearance. The Uruguayan finishers failed and the match ended with a one-goal tie.
