Marcelo Bielsa commented on Uruguay's unexpected 2-2 draw against Cape Verde in Group H of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

“When we defended well, the match allowed us to take the lead. When we lost control of the game, that advantage diminished compared to our opponents. The decisive factor for the result was that we lowered our intensity, which should not have happened,” Bielsa stated.

This leaves the Uruguayans without a win after the first two rounds of the global championship, having previously drawn 1-1 against Saudi Arabia in their opening match.
