Uruguay open their World Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia after Maxi Araujo scores a late equaliser. Saudi Arabia take the lead in the first half when Abdulelah Al-Amri scores on a rebound in the 41st minute. Uruguay respond but are unable to find a breakthrough for much of the match, despite creating chances and spending periods in possession. As Saudi Arabia move towards a potential upset, Araujo levels the score for Uruguay about 10 minutes from the end, converting the equalising goal after Saudi pressure fades. The result prevents Uruguay from losing their opener and denies Saudi Arabia a second notable victory at the tournament. With Group H also featuring Spain and Cape Verde earlier playing to a 0-0 draw, the group remains open. Across the reports, the match is characterised by Saudi Arabia’s early lead, Uruguay’s efforts to press for an equaliser, and Araujo’s decisive late strike.
