Uruguay v Peru Match Report, 12/10/2019

Brian Rodriguez scored the winner as Uruguay defeated Peru 1-0 in an international friendly at Estadio Centenario on Friday.

Los Angeles FC winger Rodriguez finished a flowing move in the 17th minute after Brian Lozano's pass inside was helped on by Matias Vecino in Montevideo.

It was a second goal in three senior international appearances for Rodriguez, which helped La Celeste exact some revenge on Peru – who eliminated Uruguay on penalties in the quarter-finals of this year's Copa America.

The midfield trio of Vecino, Lucas Torreira and Real Madrid's Federico Valverde immediately got on top as the hosts dominated the opening stages.
