The Argentine coach’s team lost 2-1 in France. The goals for the African champion were scored by Olivera, against, and Doue. La Celeste had reached the tie through Viñas.
Uruguay lost to Ivory Coast 2-1, in a friendly match played in Lens. The team led by Marcelo Bielsa thus closed the FIFA Date without victories in its two appearances: the previous one had been a 1-1 draw against País Vasco in San Mamés.
The champion took the lead with a goal against Mathías Oliveras nine minutes into the game, while Federico Viñas equalized it at 32 minutes into the game. However, a header from the admitted Guela Doué in the 39th minute and after a corner kick from the left put definitive figures to the match.
In the Celeste, Nahitan Nández and Nicolás De la Cruz, with pasts in Boca and River respectively, were starters, while Lucas Olaza and Rodrigo Bentancur (also with history in Xeneize) went to the bench. For his part, Nicolás Fonseca (current Millonario footballer) was among the replacements and did not enter.
