Uruguay was held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabia in a World Cup group-stage match, according to Israeli media reports. The result is a setback for Uruguay's tournament campaign.
Uruguay, a traditional World Cup power, stumbled to a 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia overnight, Israeli media reported. The result is a surprise given Uruguay's higher ranking and tournament pedigree. Saudi Arabia has been historically less successful in the competition.
This match follows a series of notable World Cup results this week: as The Zioneer reported Sunday, Brazil suffered an underwhelming performance, and Qatar achieved a historic result. The Zioneer also noted Monday that Egypt held Belgium to a 1-1 draw. Uruguay's draw continues a pattern of stronger teams dropping points.
No further details on goalscorers or match events have been reported yet. The result leaves Uruguay's qualification hopes more uncertain.
