Brief on the Final Match- Uruguay 4: Argentina 2
The final was
played at the Estadio Centenario on 30 July
The hosts scored
the opening goal through Pablo Dorado, a low shot from a position on the right.
]Argentina, displaying superior passing ability,
responded strongly. Within eight minutes they were back on level terms; Carlos
Peucelle received a Ferreira through-ball, beat his marker and equalised. Shortly before
half-time leading tournament goalscorer Guillermo Stábile gave Argentina a 2–1
lead. Uruguay captain Nasazzi protested, maintaining that Stábile was offside,
but to no avail. In the second half Uruguay gradually
became ascendant. Shortly after Monti missed a chance to make the score 3–1,
Uruguay attacked in numbers, and Pedro Cea
scored an equaliser. Ten minutes later a goal by Santos
Iriarte gave Uruguay the lead, and just before full-time Castro made it 4–2
to seal the win.[
