USMNT 0 – Uruguay 1, 2024 Copa America
The USMNT exited the 2024 Copa America at the group stage, losing 1-0 to Uruguay in Kansas City in their group C finale. Uruguay’s Mathias Olivera scored in the 66th with Uruguay winning the group and Panama finishing in 2nd-place.
“We had a good start and brought a lot of energy, but at the end of the day just not enough quality,” USMNT player Christian Pulisic told FOX Sports. “It felt like we gave it everything, but just couldn’t find the solutions to score.”
In the other group C finale, Panama beat Bolivia 3-1 in Orlando. Jose Fajardo put Panama up in the 22nd with Bolivia’s Bruno Miranda equalizing in the 69th. Eduardo Guerrero returned the Panama lead in the 79th and Cesar Yanis added a goal a minute into stoppage time.
