However, Uruguay's close-range goal crushed Ecuador 4-0

Uruguay won convincingly on the day of the penalty shootout between Cavani and Suarez. With a big win over Ecuador, Uruguay temporarily took the top spot in Group C.

With a squad of many players playing at the top in Europe, Uruguay did not have much difficulty in controlling the match, they were very reserved and proactively played defensive counter-attacks. Meanwhile, Ecuador rushed up too early and paid a heavy price.

In the 6th minute, Ecuador was hit by an opponent's counter-attack after a pass to the wrong address. Luis Suarez cleverly escaped the Ecuador defender's dispute before passing the ball to Nicolas Lodeiro to handle it skillfully, scoring the opening goal of the match.

Things became even more difficult for Ecuador after Jose Quintero received a direct red card in the 24th minute. Initially, referee Anderson Daronco only showed a yellow card to Quintero, but after using VAR, he decided to show a red card because he thought the defender intentionally dealt a blow to Lodeiro.

Playing with one more player, scoring another goal, Uruguay easily dominated the match and scored more goals in the first half. In the 33rd minute, from a beautiful corner kick combination, Cavani had a volley to score from close range, doubling the gap for the blue team.

In the 44th minute, it was Luis Suarez's turn to score. Starting from a corner kick, taking advantage of the chaos in the Ecuador penalty area, Suarez chose the right position to easily score. 3-0 was also the score of the first half.

The initiative still belonged to Uruguay in the second half. In the 48th minute, the ball was put into the net by Cavani but this time the goal was disallowed for offside. Luis Suarez and his teammates played slowly for the rest of the match but still scored to increase the score to 4-0 after a sloppy counter-attack by defender Mina in the 78th minute.

After that, Uruguay put the ball into the net twice but the referee did not recognize it due to an offside error. Winning 4-0, Uruguay temporarily leads Group C with 3 points, because in the previous match, Paraguay was held to a 2-2 draw by Qatar. The remaining group match between Chile and Japan will take place at 6:00 a.m. on June 18.
