Uruguay rallied from behind to tie 2-2 with Colombia thanks to a stoppage-time penalty from Darwin Nunez, in their CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifier match in Barranquilla on Friday. Colombia took the lead thanks to a goal from James Rodriguez, in the 35th minute. Mateo Mathias Olivera's unguarded header gave Uruguay a point barely minutes after the second half started. However in the 52nd minute, Mateus Uribe tucked in Luis Diaz's low cross to give Colombia their lead back.
