Two days after picking up a goal and two assists in a friendly, Diego Fagundez\u00a0couldn’t etch his name on\u00a0the scoresheet for the Uruguay U-20s in Tuesday’s 5-2 romp over local side Lavalleja.<\/p>\n

Fagundez was among the 11 who played in the win, which marked the second exhibition between the U-20s and Lavalleja on Tuesday. The first ended in a 0-0 draw. Each match went 60 minutes, with 30-minute halves.<\/p>\n

In the second match, Mauro Arambarri scored twice while Gast\u00f3n Pereiro, Franco Acosta and Franco Pizzichilo each tallied for the U-20s.<\/p>\n

The U-20s will resume training on Friday following a brief Christmas break. They’ll return to the pitch on Saturday for a friendly against Canelones del Este.<\/p>\n

The friendlies are a part of head coach Fabian Coito’s preparations for the South American Youth Championship, which will run from Jan. 14 through Feb. 7. Coito, who included Fagundez\u00a0on the\u00a0preliminary 30-man roster,\u00a0is expected to announce his final roster for the tournament on Friday.<\/p>\n

Should Fagundez make the roster and play in a FIFA-sanctioned match for\u00a0the Uruguay U-20s, he would no longer be\u00a0eligible to play for the U.S. Men’s National Team since he is not currently a U.S. citizen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
