On the morning of June 28, Beijing time, in the second round of Group C of the Copa America group stage, the Uruguayan men's football team defeated the Bolivian men's football team 5-0, won 2 consecutive wins and accumulated 6 points to rise to the first place in the group, only 1 point away from qualifying. Compared with Uruguay, Bolivia started with 2 consecutive defeats, accumulating 0 points and continuing to be at the bottom, and the qualifying situation is not optimistic.
In this Copa America, Bolivia is in Group C with the host United States, Uruguay and Panama, and in the first round of the group stage, Bolivia lost 0-2 to the United States, and now it cannot afford to lose in the second round against Uruguay. In the latest world rankings, Uruguay ranked 14th and Bolivia ranked 84th, ranking first from the bottom of South America, only four places higher than the national football team.
In the last 6 meetings between the two sides, Bolivia won 1 and lost 5, almost suppressed by Uruguay, and now come to the Copa America arena, the game is one-sided.
In the 8th minute, Uruguay attacked with a free kick and was scored by Pellistri to give Bolivia a 1-0 lead.
In the 21st minute, Uruguay quickly counterattacked, Maximiliano Araujo went straight into the penalty area, and Nunez inserted a blast to help Uruguay expand the score 2-0.
It was Nunez's second consecutive Copa America goal, seven in a row in all competitions, and 13 goals in his last nine international matches.
In the second half, Uruguay's offensive continued unabated. In the 76th minute, De La Cruz assisted M-Araujo to score in a row, in the 81st minute, Valverde pushed into the net, and in the 89th minute, Bentancur's header was the icing on the cake. In the end, Uruguay won 5-0.
With this defeat, Bolivia has suffered 14 consecutive defeats in the Copa America, continuing the record of the worst in the history of the competition.
In the first round of the 2015 Copa America, after Bolivia defeated Ecuador 3-2, it then entered the losing mode, and in 2016, 2019, and 2021, it was the bottom of the losing streak, losing to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
It is worth mentioning that Bolivia also won the Copa America, but it was in 1963 and is now only a scorer for the Copa America.
