Uruguay Plays Argentina to 0-0 Draw in World Cup 2018 Qualifying

A 0-0 draw between Uruguay and Argentina on Thursday night put both teams one step closer to qualifying for the 2018 World Cup.

While Argentina dominated possession, legitimate scoring opportunities were limited for both sides in Estadio Centenario in Uruguay.

With both squads coming off disappointing losses in their last qualifying matches, including a stretch of three straight losses for Uruguay, this is a respectable result to get back on track.

With Colombia earning a draw against Venezuela and Chile losing to Paraguay, Uruguay sits in third place with 24 points while Argentina remains in fifth at 23 points.
