On Tuesday, Uruguay continued rolling with victorious punches by beating Italy 1-0 in a friendly played in Rome. The Italian squad played better, but, like always, Uruguay’s composure held out and won with an opportunistic goal.
The champions of Copa America played without key players, Luis Suarez and Diego Forlan, but managed a key victory against an Italian squad that bolstered with heavy fire power.
Sebastian Fernandez was the Uruguayan player who knocked in the only goal of the game to give Italy the loss. However, the Italians, after that goal scored in the 3rd minute of the game, turned up the heat and gave the Uruguayans a scared for the rest of the game. Still, victory for the Italians did not prevail.
The game, after the lone goal, was all one sided. Italy attacked with many chances created by Mario Balotelli. Uruguay relied with their defensive tactics and rare counter attacks throughout the game and it was very effective. They held the Italians from scoring.
The Uruguayans didn’t entirely play bunker defense. They played with a crowded midfield. This way the Uruguayans depended on midfield control and possibly create better counter attacks. But, the Italians were so desperate to look for the tie that they sent an overwhelming onslaught for the Uruguayan midfielders, driving them back into the defense.
In the end, the Italians had twenty shots with eight on goal. All eight shots on goal, unfortunately for Italy, were saved by Uruguayan goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, who had a decent career with Italian club team Lazio. Currently, he’s playing for Turkish club team Galatasaray.
The Italian squad also controlled the ball 68% to Uruguay’s control of 32%. This stat alone tells which team was the better team out there. However, in soccer, there is a major rule in order to win. That is to score the most goals. Uruguay only needed one for this match.

WATCH FULL MATCH!!!!!!!!!!

________________________________________________________________________

Hero of the match: Luis Suarez!!!!!!
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez scored all four goals as the Copa America holders crushed Chile 4-0 on Friday to stay top of the South American 2014 World Cup qualifying group.
Suarez scored twice in each half, his goals spanning a 30-minute period in which Uruguay devastated Chile, who went into the match following coach Claudio Borghi`s dismissal of five of his players for indiscipline in midweek.
Chile were also weakened by the last-minute withdrawal of key player Alexis Sanchez, who aggravated a right biceps problem during the warm-up. Sanchez had been out for almost two months with the injury.
Suarez was substituted soon after his final goal to resounding cheers from the crowd of more than 40,000 at the Centenario stadium, and watched the rest of the game from the bench with the match ball under his arm.
"(I scored four goals) just once or twice at Ajax but it`s the first time for the national team and I`m very happy," Suarez told reporters.
"What`s important is that the team won well. It doesn`t matter who gets the goals," said Suarez, who helped Uruguay make light of the absence of fellow forward Diego Forlan.
Uruguay lead the nine-nation group with seven points from three matches after last month`s home 4-2 win over Bolivia and 1-1 draw at Paraguay. Chile, with three points, had previously lost 4-1 in Argentina and
beaten Peru 4-2 at home.

A late goal from Richard Ortiz prevented Paraguay from crashing to their second defeat in qualifying as they managed a 1-1 draw against Uruguay in Asuncion.
The two-time World Cup winners were the better side in the first half but failed to convert on two decent chances.
On the hour mark, Paraguay had their best opportunity, courtesy of Edgar Barreto, but the Palermo man's long-range effort flew by the left post, despite having room to take the ball closer to goal.
The Uruguayans finally struck when Diego Forlan finished right in front of goal after Luis Suarez skinned a defender with a quick move inside the box, allowing him to pace to the by-line before sending in a perfect, low cross to the Inter attacker, who was alone at the back post.
Paraguay pushed late looking to earn a share of the points, and they finally found the equaliser when Ortiz pounced on a loose ball in the box after Uruguay failed to clear a corner kick. The goal earned the home side their first points of the qualifying campaign.
Oscar Tabarez's men have four points from two matches.

Copa America winners Uruguay, having begun with a promising 4-2 home win over outsiders Bolivia, now meet Paraguay, the team they beat to land the continental crown in July. Veteran Diego Forlan is warning that the test in Asuncion will be one of the most difficult of the tournament.

"We know Tuesday will be tough. They'll be playing at home and we know they have good players so it will be a hard one for us," said Inter Milan's Forlan, who needs one goal to become his country's all-time top scorer. "They always give us a tough workout and as this one is in Asuncion it will be no exception."

Paraguay got their campaign off to a rocky start in losing their opener away to Peru who, after a shocking 2010 qualifying programme, came third at the Copa America.
