Uruguay is set for a trip BMO Field for a clash against Canada this week in the International Friendlies. Kickoffs schedules for September 27 at 19:00 EAT.
It has been over three years since Canada have lost when leading or tied at the interval, conceding three second-half tallies versus Haiti at the 2019 Gold Cup quarter-finals after leading that match 2-0. Les Rouges have won 22 consecutive encounters in which they tallied the opening goals while failing to concede in their last six fixtures when drawing first blood.
Canada gets into this meeting off the back of 0-2 International Friendlies victory to beat Qatar in their most recent encounter. In that game, Canada had 61% possession, 13 shots with eight of them on target and goals scored by Cyle Larin (4’) and Jonathan David (13’). Qatar got eight shots with two of them of target.
Meanwhile, Tuesday will be the final opportunity for the Uruguayan side to make an impression on the international stage before La Celeste makes their fourth successive World Cup appearance. La Celeste has qualified for the last eight or further in all but one Copa America tournament since 1993, while also making it beyond the group stage in three successive World Cups. Defensively, Uruguay looks just as stingy under Alonso as they did with his predecessor, conceding only two goals in their previous eight matches.
Uruguay will seek improved results following 1-0 International Friendlies defeat at the hands of Iran in their most recent outing. In that game, Uruguay managed 64% possession, 15 shots with six of them on target. Iran got six shots with four of them on target and a goal by Mehdi Terami (79’).
