The Republic of Maldives continues its story at the World Football Championship.

On Monday night, the Maldivian footballers drew 2:2 with Uruguay.

It was the debutants of the World Championship who scored the first goal of the match when Kevin Leni scored in the 21st minute.

At the end of the first half, Uruguay took the lead after goals from Maximiliano Araujo and Agustín Canobbio.

In the 61st minute, Hello Varela equalized the score.

After this draw, Uruguay found itself in a very dangerous situation, as in the last round they face Spain, while the Republic of Maldives has a historic chance to advance to the knockout stage if they at least draw with Saudi Arabia.
