Yerry Mina faces scrutiny after pushing cameraman post-Colombia defeat
Tears of joy: 30-year-old Uruguayan debuts for the national team and repays Marcelo Bielsa with a goal
This weekend in international football will be remembered for two extraordinary records—Uruguay and Germany both etched their names into the history books, though for very different reasons.
In South America, Uruguay clinched an astonishing 3-2 victory over Colombia, with Manuel Ugarte scoring the winner in the 11th minute of stoppage time, making it the latest goal ever in World Cup qualifying history.
Meanwhile, over in Europe, Germany delivered a historic drubbing to Bosnia and Herzegovina, securing a 7-0 win in the Nations League. This resounding victory is now the biggest margin of victory in the history of the competition, surpassing the previous record of 6-0 shared by Switzerland (vs. Iceland), Spain (vs. Croatia), and Turkey (vs. Lithuania).
For Bosnia and Herzegovina, it was a night to forget. Not only was it their worst-ever defeat in international football, but it also highlighted a disastrous 2024 campaign that has left fans desperately hoping for a turnaround in the coming year.
The Nations League remains a young tournament, but Germany’s record-breaking performance will undoubtedly be a benchmark for years to come. Bosnia, on the other hand, will want to quickly erase this nightmare from memory and focus on rebuilding.
