Copa America standings

USA 0-1 Uruguay

The match was played at Kansas City-Arrowhead Stadium and the referee on duty was Kevin Ortega from Peru. The two sides competed for the qualification of the group, and the Uruguayan team was previously in a state of 2 consecutive wins, and this undefeated game will ensure qualification, even if it is a small loss to the opponent to qualify; The U.S., on the other hand, will have to take all three points and look at the results of the other 1 match.

The two sides exchanged blanks in the first half, and the Uruguayan team still had an obvious advantage on the field, and it was closer to the goal, and it seemed that the gap in comprehensive strength was still relatively large. In the 66th minute, Matias Oliveira scored and Uruguay finally broke the deadlock. After that, the U.S. team tried many attacks to no avail, and finally lost 0-1 to Uruguay, and was eliminated in third place with 3 points from 1 win and 2 losses in the group stage.

Bolivia 1-3 Panama

The two sides competed at the Orlando International Stadium, with Brazilian referee Edina Batista officiating, and two assistant referees, Neuza Buck and Marie Blanco, also referees from Brazil. Bolivia's previous 2 consecutive defeats are basically equivalent to being out, and this time it takes a big win to have a chance; Panama, on the other hand, is behind the United States on goal difference, and all three points will depend on the other 1 result.

In the 22nd minute, Fajardo volleyed home to give Panama the lead. In the 69th minute, Bruno Miranda scored and Bolivia equalized. In the 79th minute, Eduardo Guerrero scored to give Panama the lead again, and the team was a major blow to the United States. In the 90+1st minute, Yannis scored to give Panama a 3-1 lead.

The third round of Group C ended with Uruguay in first place with three consecutive wins and a quarter-final against Colombia or Brazil. Panama overtook the United States to move up to second place in the group and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. The U.S. team was very regretful, losing to Panama in the second round of the crucial game, and Uruguay refused to let go of the water in the final round with a strong performance. As a result, the host team, the United States, was eliminated from the group.

Based on the latest standings of the Copa America group stage, the group stage of Group A and Group B has been played, Argentina, Canada, Venezuela and Ecuador have all qualified, while the former powerhouse Chile team was eliminated with 2 draws and 1 loss, and the old powerhouse Mexico was out of the tournament with a goal difference. The knockout stage of the Copa America is more straightforward, and the two groups A and B cross each other to enter the top half. Therefore, in the 1/4 finals, Argentina vs Ecuador and Venezuela vs Canada, it seems that the Argentine team has a high probability of advancing to the final.

At present, there is still the third round of Group D to be played, and Colombia has won 2 consecutive games to lock up the top two in the group and has advanced to the quarterfinals. Brazil are currently in a favourable position with four points, six goal difference ahead of third-placed Costa Rica. As a result, Brazil has already qualified for the quarterfinals of this Copa America, and in the final round, Brazil and Colombia will compete for the top spot in Group D.
