Almost a year later Darwin officially represented Uruguay's national team.

The night of October 7 ended with a scoreless draw although the Uruguayans did everything they could to clinch a win in Montevideo. Darwin was one of those players, he who paired up in attack with Cavani in the second half of the match.

Otamendi

Also in the South American qualifiers, the Benfica center back central Otamendi led Argentina's defense in the scoreless draw against Paraguay. One shot blocked, three interceptions, six aerial duels won (out of eleven ) and a 90% pass success rate are data from a good and efficient display.

Lucas Veríssimo, in the Venezuela-Brazil, saw, as an unused substitute, Tite's men complete a comeback and won by 1-3.

Vertonghen, another of the internationals who represent Benfica and are in the service of their respective national teams, participated in the 90 minutes in the semi-final of the League of Nations, between Belgium and France, with the Gauls winning by 2-3.
