Uruguay down Uzbekistan

Montevideo, June 8: Uruguay’s national football team bid farewell to their fans at the Centenario Atadium here with a 3-0 win over Uzbekistan, which included goals from Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Luis Suarez and Jose Maria Gimenez.

Uzbekistan were left with 10 players after Akromion Komilov’s 79th-minute dismissal for a tough tackle on Carlos Sanchez.

The team, coached by Oscar Washington Tabarez, will leave on June 9 for the World Cup.

World Cup-bound South Korea had plenty of possession and chances in an international friendly against Bolivia here, but the contest ended 0-0. IANS
