The two games in September will be the last that Uruguay will play as part of its preparation for the World Cup, which began with three friendlies in June.

In the United States and without Luis Suárez, La Celeste thrashed Mexico 0-3 with goals from Edinson Cavani twice and Matías Vecino. Days later, they equalized 0-0 against the locals in a game in which the Uruguayans dominated but did not hit the rival goal.
