Mauro Zalazar misses out on U20 World Cup after narrow defeat against Paraguay
Following a narrow 1-0 defeat against Paraguay, Mauro Zalazar and Uruguay 20s are now unable to finish amongst the top four in the final round of the South American U-20 Championships. Uruguay U20 had already been eliminated from contention to win the tournament prior to their match against Paraguay. The top four sides all qualify for the U20 World Cup in autumn, meaning that the ‘Celeste’ will now not be able to take part.
