Maxi Arajo finally gave the crowd of mostly Uruguay fans in South Florida something to cheer about with his tying goal late in Monday's World Cup opener against Saudi Arabia.La Celeste salvaged a point, but they were not thrilled with the result.We gave it away. We have to be honest, midfielder Federico Valverde said in Spanish after his side played to a 1-1 draw, making up for a flat first half by controlling the second.We gave away the first half, Valverde added. We didnt play the way we had trained. It wasnt what we were aiming for. We rushed things too much. We wanted to win the game in the very first minute. Sometimes you need a bit more patience and just play our game. We improved a lot in the second half.Abdulelah Al-Amri scored on a rebound in the 41st minute for Saudi Arabia, and Arajo got the equalizer in the 80th, firing a rebound past goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais from close range. La Celeste dominated possession and had 29 attempts on goal to Saudi Arabia's seven but trailed until late in the second half.It was the fourth international goal for Arajo and second at Hard Rock Stadium, home to the NFL's Miami Dolphins.Al-Amri, who had a shot denied by Uruguay's Fernando Muslera earlier in the first half, put his squad ahead with a quick tap-in after Muslera palmed away a header.Al-Amri fell to his knees after the goal and placed his head down on the pitch as he was showered with cheers from Saudi Arabia fans, who were greatly outnumbered in South Florida but loud enough to make up the difference.Four years ago, they watched their team deliver one of the most memorable moments of the 2022 World Cup, coming back to stun Lionel Messi and eventual champion Argentina 2-1 in Saudi Arabia's opening match. Monday's result was much less dramatic, but Saudi Arabia behind a mostly solid performance by Al-Owais was able to shut out Uruguay, a two-time World Cup champion, until late.The Green Falcons were more pleased with the outcome than their opponents.Uruguay is a team that is very energetic, Saudi Arabia coach Georgios Donis said through an interpreter. The players are well experienced, and there is depth on the bench. ... When youre faced with such an opponent, getting one point is a positive.Donis replaced the fired Herv Renard only two months ago. He said he's still learning the squad, though he was hopeful after Monday's performance.I need to get to know my team better, Donis said. I need to create a team that is competitive, and it only makes sense that we need time to do this. Todays outcome gives us an advantage.La Celeste had plenty of chances. Al-Owais denied a point-blank header from Federico Vinas in the first half, then got his fingertips on an attempt by Manuel Ugarte in the 61st. He also denied Valverde's attempt a couple of minutes into stoppage time.When a team that is supposed to make a difference cannot do it, in terms of being dangerous or dominating the ball, Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa said through an interpreter, then the weaker team actually dares to do something.The result capped a surprising day for Group H made up of Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Spain and Cape Verde. Cape Verde, making its World Cup debut, held heavily favored Spain to a scoreless draw in Atlanta. The draw involving Spain may be the biggest surprise in this World Cup, Donis said. Cape Verde was very competitive, very strong. Its not like the (group) favorites changed. Its Spain and Uruguay.It was also a matchup of the past, present and future in World Cup history. Uruguay hosted the first World Cup in 1930 and will host a match commemorating the tournaments centennial in 2030, and Saudi Arabia will host the World Cup in 2034.Among those at the match: FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo, former NFL star Chad Ochocinco and longtime Uruguay standout Luis Surez -- Messis teammate with Inter Miami who was not picked to represent his country at this tournament.___AP World Cup: https://apnews.com/hub/fifa-world-cup
