World Cup qualifiers: Uruguay wins while Trinidad ties

-Contributed by Erwin Cifuentes. Uruguay and Trinidad and Tobago played the first of two matches Saturday afternoon in order to qualify for next year’s soccer World Cup. Dario Rodriguez’s header in the 37th minute gave Uruguay a narrow 1-0 victory over Australia in Montevideo. (SoccerNet) Jorge Fossati, coach of the “charruas,” anticipates his squad will qualify for the World Cup even though a loss in the rematch Wednesday morning in Sydney would eliminate Uruguay. Meanwhile, the “Soca Warriors” played to a 1-1 tie with Bahrain in Port-of-Spain as midfielder Chris Birchall scored Trinidad’s lone goal four minutes after Bahrain converted the first goal of the game. Trinidad is forced to win the rematch this Wednesday in Bahrain in order to qualify for the first time to the World Cup.
