The spot-kick was awarded after Diego Rolan was brought down by home goalkeeper Munir Mohand.

It proved a successful outing for new-look Uruguay who are preparing for the Copa America in Chile in June.

Morocco were playing their first international of the year after having been stripped of the right to host the African Nations Cup at the start of 2015.
