Meanings
nounUruguayan (plural Uruguayans)
plural Uruguayans
- A person from Uruguay or of Uruguayan descent.
Everton were, perhaps understandably, deflated at the setback and it was no surprise when Suarez added Liverpool's second after 82 minutes. Distin and Baines were involved in a mix-up as the Uruguayan advanced into the area, and he was not about to pass up the gift to shoot low past Howard.
