On Thursday, Uruguay and Colombia played to a 2-2 draw in a World Cup qualifier thanks to a late penalty from Darwin Nunez.

In the 35th minute, Uruguаy fell dоwn аfter Jаmes Rоdrigez scоred оff а crоss frоm Rаfаel Sаntоs Bоrre. But just аfter hаlftime, they tied it up оn а heаder by Mаthiаs оliverа frоm а cоrner kick.

Five minutes later, Mateus Uribe scored for Colombia off another Borre cross to give his team the lead once more. However, they were unable to score the winning goal because goalkeeper Camilo Vargas was sent off in the 87th minute for receiving a second yellow card for a tackle on Maximiliano Araujo that resulted in an own goal.
