Idman.Biz reports that Saudi Arabia opened the scoring in the 41st minute. After a corner kick, Abdulilah Al-Amri completed the ball in front of the goal and put his team ahead – 1:0.
After the break, Uruguay took full control of the initiative, creating consecutive dangerous attacks. In the 60th minute, Manuel Ugarte hit the post.
The pressure from the South Americans paid off in the 80th minute. Maksi Arauxo took advantage of the mess in the penalty area and equalized the score – 1:1.
Although Uruguay was very close to scoring the winning goal in the final minutes, goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais made several magnificent saves to save his team from defeat.
