Uruguay’s latest World Cup qualification match ended in the most dramatic of circumstances as Darwin Nunez’s side defeated Luis Diaz’s Colombia 3-2 after a winning goal in the 102nd minute.
Manuel Ugarte, recently signed by Manchester United, struck deep in second-half injury time, only minutes after Colombia scored what they assumed would be the equaliser.
However, despite an initial seven minutes being indicated by the officials, play continued past the 100-minute mark with Uruguay ultimately coming out on top.
It was a welcome result for Uruguay and their under-pressure head coach Marcelo Bielsa following a testing run of results and a stream of negative stories.
