How Darwin Nunez fared in Uruguay’s loss to Portugal?

Darwin Nunez started in Uruguay’s 2-0n defeat to Portugal in the World Cup Group H game.

To put it simply, Nunez didn’t give his greatest performance. His numbers are appalling: 29 touches, 13 turnovers, 0 aerial duels won (4 tried), 0 crosses finished (2 attempted), 1 shot.

In the 72nd minute, the Liverpool striker was substituted.

Here are some opinions from football fans regarding Darwin’s performance.

Niklaus Mikaelson: “35-year-old Luis Suarez is better that Darwin Nunez”

JP: “Darwizzy pocketed by 39-year-old Pepe”

Apache: “Darwin forgets he has a ball at his feet midway through carrying it he needs to donate his brain to science when he dies”

Patron: “Facundo Pellistri has been more of a direct threat in 5 mins than Liverpool’s £100m Darwin Núñez has been for the whole ga

Rory Smith: “Takes some doing to make a team that has Fede Valverde, the most in-form midfielder on the planet, and Darwin Nuñez, a being of pure, uncut chaos, in it quite this boring.”

Ex-Red Luis Suarez was introduced in the second half and had a big chance to score in the 78th minute but hit the side-netting.

The defeat leaves Uruguay in fourth place in their group with just one point. They must beat Ghana on Friday and hope South Korea doesn’t win against Portugal.
