BTC News Sports Desk: The most number of times a team has won the COPA America is Uruguay. But this year they failed to shine even in a single game. The Uruguay’s Edison Cavani scored a goal and a own goal by Bolivia helped Uruguay to win a game and seal their place in last 8.
Their start in this tournament ie absolutely disastrous. They lost to 1-0 to Argentina and 1-1 draw with Chile. They absolutely failed to shine against weak Bolivia. Bolivia had their last away win 32 games before in Myanmar.
Uruguay were looking totally out of shape when they got a sigh of relief as they take a lead five minutes before half time when Jairo Quinteros and Carlos Kampe combined to put through their own goal.
Uruguay hadn’t won since beating Colombia in World Cup Qualifier last November but Cavani guaranteed all three points with his first international goal since that game when he converted a sumptuous cross from Facundo Torres with 11 minutes remaining.
Uruguay qualifies to last eight along with Paraguay, Chile and Argentina.
