One shot on goal, 34 touches: Stats reveal how Nunez fared in first-ever World Cup match

Darwin Nunez just played his first-ever World Cup game with his Uruguay side held to a goalless draw by a resilient South Korea in Group H.

We can't say this is the best we've seen of Nunez as he was kept quiet by the Asians for pretty much the entire game.

The 23-year-old had one shot that fizzled just outside the post in his 90 minutes on the pitch.

In the first half, he missed a big chance as he couldn't connect to a diagonal ball on time:

Nunez stats vs South Korea:

0 goals/assists

0 shots on target

1 big chance missed

1 shot off target

4/7 ground duels won

Nunez still has time to make amends in the tournament with Uruguay up against Portugal in their next game.
