Thiago Almada would score a stunning goal for Argentina in their 1-0 win vs. Uruguay in the World Cup qualifiers.
The first half saw Uruguay having much of the ball but unable to capitalize on any chances. Argentina created one chance with Giuliano Simeone crossing into the penalty area with Alexis Mac Allister making the run which was stopped by the goalkeeper.
Lionel Scaloni’s team would start the second half and would create chances. A through ball by Julian Alvarez found Thiago Almada but the goalkeeper would come out and close the angle on Almada’s effort on goal.
At 0-0, Julián Álvarez would play a pass to Almada and the Argentine’s effort on goal from outside of the penalty area would go into the top corner to give Argentina the 1-0 lead.
Scaloni would bring on Nicolás González on for Giuliano Simeone, Exequiel Palacios for Alexis Mac Allister, Leonardo Balerdi for Leandro Paredes and Ángel Correa on for Thiago Almada.
Nicolás González would get a red card towards the end of the match. He would go for the ball but miss it and accidentaly kick Nandez in the face.
Argentina would get the 1-0 win and will play Brazil on Tuesday.
