Uruguay are second on 20 points, five behind leaders Argentina. The top six will automatically qualify for the World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada. After a tight first half, Real Madrid midfielder Valverde opened the scoring in the 55th minute when he curled a fine long-range low shot into the far corner. Gerson brought the hosts level seven minutes later, the Flamengo midfielder scoring his first international goal with a terrific volley after a poor clearance by the Uruguayan defence. News
