Revolution midfielder Diego Fagundez scored once and assisted twice for the Uruguay U-20 squad in a 3-0 friendly win over Colonia (Uruguay) on Sunday.

Fagundez, who was called up by the squad earlier this month, tallied in the second half while assisting teammates Facundo Bone and Horacio Sequeira on their efforts.

The friendly consisted of two 50-minute halves, with each half consisting of a different selection for the U-20s.

The Uruguay U-20s will play another friendly on Tuesday against club side Lavalleja.

Fagundez was one of 27 players called into the squad by head coach Fabian Coito. A final 23-man roster for the South American Youth Championship, which will run from Jan. 14 through Feb. 7 in Uruguay, will be announced on Friday.

This is the third time Fagundez has been called in by the Uruguay U-20s. He spent a week in camp with the team in October 2012 before appearing in two friendly games against Peru on Aug. 4 and Aug. 6 earlier this year.
