Uruguay crushes Venezuela 3-0 in World Cup Qualifying

For Uruguay the story is another win in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying. Facing a Venezuela squad that they should be expected to beat at home, they took care of business. Edison Cavani scored his 35th and 36th goals to tie Forlan as their second highest scorer. It was Seattle Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro that opened the scoring.

Yes, that’s Barcelona great Luis Suarez with the assist on Nico’s header. As Sounders fans are used to Lodeiro moved to space frequently, applied defensive pressure and is a constant simple outlet for his team. If anything he passes even quicker in the light blues of Uruguay than he does with Seattle.
