What happened: Amaro came off the bench as part of a two-player midfield change. He had become eligible to play one day earlier.

By the numbers: Amaro made his Uruguayan first-division debut at age 17 in June 2023.

What to watch: Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. ET match is his next opportunity to press for a larger midfield role.
