Fifa World Cup 2022: Uruguay and South Korea played out a goalless draw in their Group H opener in the FIFA World Cup 2022 at the Education City Stadium here on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The South American side started with Darwin Nunez lined up alongside prolific forward Luis Suarez, while Heung-Min Son was fit enough to start for South Korea after his recently fractured eye socket. But none of them could find the breakthrough despite a lively encounter in Qatar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The first half ended without a score with Uruguay guilty of wasting many opportunities. However, South Korea got the best chance in the 34th minute as Moon-Hwan Kim found Ui-Jo Hwang in space in the box, but he could only fire over the crossbar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
And Uruguay went close towards the end as Federico Valverde's fierce drive, from just outside the box, was wide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
