Goan-origin Maxi Araujo Scores Equalizer as Uruguay Hold Saudi Arabia 1-1 in World Cup
MIAMI GARDENS (US): (Jun 16) Abdulelah Al-Amri scored on a rebound in the 41st minute for Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay’s Maxi Araújo responded with an equalizer in the 80th as the teams played to a 1-1 draw in their World Cup opener on Monday.
Uruguay controlled most of the second half but didn’t break through until Araújo fired a rebound past goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais from close range. La Celeste dominated possession and had 28 attempts on goal to Saudi Arabia’s seven but trailed until late in the second half.
It was the fourth international goal for Araújo and second at Hard Rock Stadium, home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.
