The most hostile place to work these days is undoubtedly Marcelo Bielsa‘s office. A chaotic situation is perceiving in Uruguay after the 0-0 draw against Ecuador, which in other conditions would not be so difficult, but under the current conditions, with so much doubt about the coach, it is seen as a disaster. The 1-0 win against Peru has yet to sink in
Uruguay suffered from the start of the game at home, in front of their spectators, when Estupiñán scored a left foot shot just wide in the first minute, after 3 minutes Enner Valencia headed in and again after 6 minutes with a header. right leg shot.
At 20 minutes Nuñez and Araújo finally responded, although they had enough aim. Pellistri would try but Valverde was the clearest at 24 just wide. Ecuador took refuge and kept the score at zero until the break.
By the second half, the fatigue of the home team, who insisted so much without reward, took its toll, and Ecuador looked healthier, coming closer thanks to Moisés Caicedo with a shot near the post.
Time began to play against a local team that allowed itself to be attacked to the point of ending up almost signing the tie, which has a taste like a little after the poor balance in Peru and the exhaustion in the Centenario, used to be in his strength.
Nuñez and Olivera tried a little more with a header but the end was the same: Uruguay only took one point out of six to stay at 16, while Colombia (19) and Argentina (22) took advantage. What will happen to Bielsa after these results? Anything can happen…
