Uruguay confirmed their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a commanding 3-0 victory over Peru in Montevideo.
Rodrigo Aguirre opened the scoring early on with a powerful header from Facundo Pellistri’s cross, setting the tone for a dominant first half from the hosts.
Giorgian de Arrascaeta came close on several occasions before finally striking just before the hour, his thunderous volley doubling the lead.
Federico Viñas sealed the result late on, ensuring Uruguay climbed into the top three of the CONMEBOL standings.
Peru, meanwhile, saw their slim hopes of reaching the finals extinguished. A fourth straight match without a win leaves them only fighting to avoid bottom place in their final qualifier.
