Saudi Arabia<\/a> and Uruguay<\/a> shared the points with a 1-1 draw, making Group H all square after the first set of games.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first half was pretty tame from both sides. But Saudi Arabia took the lead into half-time thanks to a set-piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa made a number of second-half changes and things massively improved. The South American side held 75% possession in the second half, along, with 22 shots and two big chances. And they finally got the equaliser in the 80th minute, thanks to Maximiliano Araujo’s effort.<\/p>\n\n\n
