Bielsa Disappointed with Draw

Uruguay's head coach, Marcelo Bielsa, shared his thoughts after the 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia in their opening World Cup group stage match. La Celeste salvaged a point with an equalizer in the 80th minute, courtesy of Maximiliano Araújo.

"This was an opponent we should have beaten! At certain points in the first half, our team wasn't in the game. This shows we didn't play our best, but despite that, we still should have won," Bielsa stated.

"I'm not sure if the substitutions changed the course of the match, or if there were other factors," the eccentric specialist added.

Uruguay's next tournament fixture is against Cape Verde on June 22nd, with their final group stage match against Spain scheduled for June 27th.
