Uruguay secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Dominican Republic in an International Friendly on 10 October, controlling proceedings through superior shot volume despite modest underlying metrics. The hosts dominated territorially, registering 11 shots to their opponents' 7, though only converted one effort on target from an expected goals tally of 0.49. Uruguay's 4-3-3 shape proved effective at limiting Dominican Republic's attacking threat, who operated in a 3-4-3 formation and generated four shots on target from 0.36 xG. The Dominican Republic's goalkeeper delivered a commanding performance, maintaining a perfect 100% save percentage to keep the deficit to a single goal, though the visitors rarely threatened despite their shot accuracy. The result reflects a pragmatic display from the Uruguayan side, who prioritised defensive solidity over fluid attacking football. Referee Razlan Joffri bin Ali oversaw proceedings without notable incident. Uruguay's efficiency in converting limited chances proved decisive in this low-intensity friendly.
