Uruguay started the second half with offence and tested Venezuelan defense, but could not find the back of the net.

Maxi Periera came very close to scoring but shot it over the bar.

Edinson Cavani had the best chance to equalize for Uruguay, but the PSG forward missed the target in a one-on-one situation.

Uruguay won two corners at in the additional minutes, but even deploying their keeper in the attack didn’t help Uruguay.

It became evident that Luis Suarez is the key for Uruguay to succeed, as the Barcelona superstar was missed upfront.

Suarez appeared seemingly frustrated, arguing with his boss, he also threw his bib off during the end minutes.
