Uruguay claimed a dramatic 3-2 victory over Colombia in their South American World Cup qualifier on November 15, 2024, at the iconic Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. 
The match was full of tension, with Uruguay's first goal coming from a Colombian own goal by Oscar Sánchez in the 57th minute, followed by an equalizer from Colombia's Juan Fernando Quintero in the 31st minute. Uruguay regained the lead thanks to Agustin Aguirre's strike in the 60th minute.
The match saw a nail-biting finish when Manuel Ugarte scored in the 11th minute of injury time, securing the win for Uruguay and intensifying the drama. Colombia's effort to equalize once more came through a goal from Jhonny Gómez in the 90+6 minute, but it was ultimately Ugarte's late heroics that delivered all three points for Uruguay.
Darwin Núñez's celebration in front of former Everton defender Yerry Mina added further intensity to the match, as Uruguay's players stood firm following some off-field confrontations during the game.
