CONGRATULATIONS: Darwin Nunez gave Uruguay a noteworthy win, exhibiting a caliber of play that was notably distinct from his Liverpool days, as he himself admitted.

Liverpool’s striker shone brightly, spearheading Uruguay to a resounding 4-0 victory over Mexico in a series of international friendlies. Darwin Nunez, aged 24, dazzled the pitch at Empower Field, Colorado, securing a hat-trick in under 45 minutes and significantly impacting Uruguay’s surprising win. Nunez swiftly opened the scoring in the 7th minute and added two more goals in the 44th and 49th minutes, each beautifully facilitated by his teammates. This dynamic performance by Nunez serves as a promising preamble to the impending Copa America. Uruguay exhibited stellar tactics against Mexico, combining ironclad defense with swift transitions to exploit their adversary’s vulnerabilities. Facundo Pellistri, a burgeoning talent from Manchester United, notched Uruguay’s final goal while also orchestrating an assist for Nunez’s goal. 

This friendly clash marked Uruguay’s second consecutive appearance in the United States within a week, part of their rigorous preparations for Copa America 2024. Earlier, on June 1st, under the tutelage of coach Marcelo Bielsa, Uruguay held Costa Rica to a goalless draw. Conversely, Mexico faces mounting hurdles following their staggering defeat, with fans’ criticisms and mounting pressure intensifying as the Copa America approaches.
