Notes:
- Ryan and Conor McLaughlin became the 21st set of brothers to be capped by the Irish FA, and the 11th to appear in the same match. Ryan is the first Liverpool player to earn a senior Northern Ireland cap since 1936 and Conor the first ever Fleetwood to win full international recognition.
- This was Northern Ireland's fourth meeting with Uruguay, but the first to be played "away". The previous matches were played in Belfast (twice) and New Jersey.
- Debuts for Luke McCullough, Paul Paton and Ryan McLaughlin.
- This match was played for the Unofficial World Championship and the Copa Antel.
