Rodrigo Bentancur became our latest player to seal a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup on a harmonious night for our South American contingent who all won by a 3-0 margin in the early hours of Friday morning.
Uruguay confirmed their place at next summer's major tournament after goals from Rodrigo Aguirre, Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Federico Vinas sealed a dominant win over Peru to spark jubilant scenes at the Estadio Centenario in the capital of Montevideo.
Rodrigo delivered a commanding display throughout his full 90 minutes at the base of midfield - winning 12 duels, making six defensive contributions and creating four chances - to certainly play his part on his 70th cap for his nation.
