Uruguay Ties Saudi Arabia

     Uruguay tied Saudi Arabia 1-1 in a Group H matchup between both nations at Miami Stadium on Monday night. It was the first 2026 World Cup game of seven contests to be held in the South Florida region. 

     Miami did not have any games played locally during the first time the United States hosted the World Cup in 1994. The closest located contests were held that year was in Orlando. 

     Saudi Arabia scooted out to a 1-0 advantage in the 41st minute. Abdulelah Alamri got to the rebound and half-volleyed a shot from three yards away with his right foot. 

     In the second half, Uruguay tied it up 1-1 in the 80th minute. Maximiliano Araujo volleyed in a left-footed shot from six yards out following a save.
