Uruguay’s national team, led by Marcelo Bielsa, defeated Argentina’s national team 2-0 at La Bombonera stadium. With goals by Ronald Araújo (40th minute) and Darwin Núñez (87th minute), the Celeste achieved a historic double in a row after defeating Brazil by the same score at the Centenario in Montevideo.
La Albiceleste thus relinquished their unbeaten record in 2023 and lost the invincibility of their goal, but still lead the standings with 12 out of a possible 15 points. Uruguay is in second place with 10 points.
In the sixth round of these qualifying rounds, Argentina will visit Brazil at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, while Uruguay will host Bolivia at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo.

Argentina vs Uruguay Preview
Argentina had to perform with and without Messi during the early stages of the qualifying campaign and found a way to win each time. Having the Ballon d’Or winner around after recovering from a recent injury will be an advantage, even though he has only played once in the last 25 days.
This suggests that Lionel Scaloni can make important variations without affecting the team’s performance. However, they will face a tough opponent that will be looking to give the first blow to the locals in these South American qualifiers and will have an experienced coach like Marcelo Bielsa as their standard bearer.
