Uruguay swept Bolivia 5-0 in the morning sunshine on Friday 28th, with Man Utd wing Fagendo Berlis shining, with a goal and an assist, and his performance was undoubtedly the highlight of the match. So, will United's tactician, Coach Tannhäuser, have the 22-year-old's name on his mind?
Uruguay took control of the game early on. In the eighth minute, Berlicha set the tone for the match with a clever finish from inside the box to give Uruguay a 2-0 lead against Darwin Nunes. Uruguay continued their onslaught as Max Anaozu followed up with a goal, joining Darwin Nunes in scoring a second consecutive goal to fire Uruguay to a 2-0 lead.
In the 81st minute, Berlicha's cross found Federico Valverde, who scored with ease. Together with Bintangoa's goal, Uruguay sent Bolivia to the top of the "egg" list with a 5-0 victory and two wins in two matches to secure first place in the group. In January this year, Perischa was loaned by Manchester United to CF Granada in La Liga, and it is rumored that he plans to officially move to Manchester United this summer. With his recent outstanding performance, he will undoubtedly attract many clubs to compete for him.
The other game in Group C was less exciting. The U.S. fell to Panama by a score of 1-2. Just over 18 minutes into the match, U.S. striker Gamo Favea was red-carded in a clash. Although the U.S. took the lead at one point with a goal by Colin Balogan, they were ultimately unable to withstand Panama's counterattacks and conceded consecutive goals. Panama also had a player sent off in the 88th minute of play, but the incident had little effect on the outcome of the match.
