Nunez celebrates in front of past Liverpool opponent in Uruguay victory.

After an intense and thrilling game in Montevideo, Uruguay emerged victorious against Colombia with a final score of 3-2. It was a nail-biting match that had fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.

One of the standout moments of the game was Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez's celebration in front of former Everton defender Yerry Mina. After Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte scored a dramatic late winner for Uruguay in the 11th minute of injury time, Nunez turned to Mina and celebrated wildly in his face before joining his teammates in celebration.

Despite their clash earlier in the game, Nunez's celebration was a display of pure joy and excitement for the win. "I'm happy to see the fans in the stands celebrating, it's a goal that I'll remember forever," Ugarte said after the game. "I'm not one to score a lot of goals, so this one is special. The match was amazing, and I think we deserved to win. Sometimes, it's nice to win a match like that."

For Ugarte, the win was made even more meaningful as he dedicated his goal to his family. "I thought about my parents and my niece who was born a month ago. It was a beautiful moment to see the crowd celebrating like that," he shared.

The win has put Uruguay in second place in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying table, just three points behind leaders Argentina and level with Colombia who have now dropped to third. However, the game was not without some controversy as Mina may face a suspension for pushing a cameraman on the pitch after Colombia's defeat.

This incident is reminiscent of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez's two-game ban in September for slapping a camera during Argentina's defeat to Colombia. If Mina is indeed suspended, he will be absent for Colombia's upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Brazil and Paraguay.

But for now, Uruguay can celebrate their hard-fought victory and look forward to their next game with confidence. It was a match to remember, and one that will go down in history for both teams.
