Argentina has maintained a 2nd position under Brazil by winning 6 games from the 10 played and 4 draws, whereas Uruguay  has won 4 games from the 11 games played with 4 draws and 3 losses. 

Having said that, Argentina was most likely to qualify for the World Cup even without the win in the match, but after the win they have almost made sure of their position. 

Let us see the details of the match.

Argentina started the game. Emiliano Martinez, the Aston Villa goalkeeper for Argentina is doing a wonderful job of blocking the attempts of Uruguay to score a goal. Meanwhile, the Argentinian team tries to strike back with their shots to the Uruguay post.

Rodrigo De Paul adds to the joy of Argentina fans as he scores the second goal for Argentina in 44 minutes. Lautaro Martinez assisted. Argentina takes a 2 goal lead and the Uruguay fans don’t seem happy about it. The commendable job of Argentina’s goalkeeper is to be noted for not conceiving any goals. 

The first half ended with a 2 minute extra time and Argentina maintained their lead of 2-0 against Uruguay.

The second half begins and both teams make an array of substitutions. This may prove to be productive as the fresh players may be able to change the dynamics of the game. 

Argentina managed to hold on to their 2 goal lead and add one more to it by 62 minutes. It was Lautaro Martinez who scored the 3rd goal for Argentina. Giovani Lo Celso assisted. 

The Argentina fans are thrilled as opposed to the tensed Uruguay fans. Although this is not a crucial point, the game has its value.
