Algeria and Uruguay played out a goalless draw in an International Friendly on 31 March, with the visitors dominating possession and chances without finding the breakthrough. Uruguay controlled proceedings with 59% possession and created the better opportunities, registering 11 shots and an expected goals tally of 0.54, though they managed only one effort on target. Algeria, set up in a 3-4-2-1 shape, offered limited attacking threat from their 41% possession, mustering just six shots with none troubling Uruguay's goalkeeper; their xG of 0.2 reflected their peripheral role in the match. The Algerian goalkeeper proved decisive, saving the single shot on target he faced with a 100% save percentage to preserve parity. Referee Luca Pairetto oversaw a match that lacked genuine intensity or clear-cut chances, leaving both sides with a point in their respective preparations. Uruguay's superior metrics suggest they should have won, while Algeria's defensive discipline proved sufficient to frustrate.
