Liverpool’s forward had a stellar performance, helping Uruguay secure a 4-0 victory over Mexico in a series of international friendlies. Darwin Nunez, aged 24, achieved a hat-trick in less than 45 minutes at Empower Field, Colorado, contributing significantly to Uruguay’s unexpected triumph. Nunez opened the scoring in the 7th minute and added two more goals in the 44th and 49th minutes, benefiting from well-set-up plays by his teammates. This solid performance by Nunez serves as good preparation ahead of the Copa America. Uruguay displayed excellent gameplay against Mexico, combining tight defense with effective transitions to exploit their opponent’s weaknesses. Facundo Pellistri, a rising star from Manchester United, scored Uruguay’s remaining goal, also assisting Nunez for another. This friendly match was Uruguay’s second consecutive game in the United States within a week, as part of their preparation for Copa America 2024. Previously, on June 1st, under the leadership of coach Marcelo Bielsa, Uruguay drew 0-0 against Costa Rica. Meanwhile, Mexico faces significant challenges following their heavy defeat, receiving criticism and pressure from fans ahead of the upcoming Copa America tournament.
