Uruguay leads Group C after defeating Bolivia, but Panama stuns the USA.

Copa América Group C play starts Thursday evening, with the United States facing Panama and Bolivia facing Uruguay. Let's get into what happened that night.


Uruguay 5-0 Bolivia


Uruguay all but secured their place in the final round with a resounding victory over Group C bottom dwellers Bolivia.


Uruguay had a strong start and should have taken the lead after three minutes, but Darwin Núñez missed from close range.

However, Marcelo Bielsa's team seemed unconcerned, and they took a well-deserved lead before the 10-minute mark when Facundo Pellistri scored from close range.

Núñez scored his second goal of the tournament, doubling Uruguay's lead and effectively ending Bolivia's chances.

Uruguay easily defeated Bolivia in the second half, with goals from Maximiliano Araújo, Federico Valverde, and Rodrigo Bentancur sealing their victory and propelling them to the knockout stage.


Panama 2-1 USA 

The United States' Copa América prospects are hanging in the balance following a close loss to Panama.


The United States dominated the game from the start, not allowing Panama to leave their own half until Weston McKennie scored.

Fortunately for Panama, the goal was called off after a VAR review identified an offside USA player on the set-piece that resulted in the goal.

The game devolved into mayhem after Timothy Weah was kicked off for belligerent behavior, leaving the United States with only ten men with more than an hour remaining.

Despite their numerical disadvantage, Folarin Balogun startled Panama with a long-range shot that hit the post and gave the Stars and Stripes the lead.

Panama answered brilliantly, scoring an equalizer through Cesar Blackman, who struck a goal into the bottom corner from within the box.

Los Canaleros piled on the pressure, and while it appeared that the United States would hang on for a gutsy point, second-half substitute José Fajardo startled the Atlanta audience by firing a close-range goal into the roof of the net late in the game to give his team the lead.

As the United States attempted to strike back, Adalberto Carrasquilla was sent off for a cynical tackle on Christian Pulisic. Both teams went into stoppage time with 10 men.

Thomas Christiansen's men would not be punished, however, as Panama secured a memorable victory.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...

Botafogo, consisting of ten players, won their first Copa Libertadores versus Mineiro.

Botafogo won their first Copa Libertadores with a 3-1 victory over Atlético Mineiro. The all-Brazilian fight got off to a rousing start as Artur Jorge's team was reduced to ten men just 31 seconds in after Gregore was sent off for a high lunge on Fausto Vera. But the Estrela Solitária broke the deadlock with a sweeping finish from Luiz Henrique, who went on to win a penalty later in the half. Everson's foul on the winger was reviewed by VAR before Alex Telles cemented their dominance with a comfortable penalty kick just before halftime. Mineiro responded early in the second half, with Eduardo Vargas heading in Hulk's corner from the left, but the 2013 victors were unable to equalize. Júnior Santos' late goal secured victory for Artur Jorge's team in Buenos Aires' Estadio Monumental, sparking wild celebrations. Botafogo currently leads the Brasileirão by three points with two games remaining in 2024.
