Must read

Canada is gearing up for a momentous clash against Uruguay in the third-place match of the 2024 Copa América tournament at Bank of America Stadium. Both teams are determined to conclude their tournament journey on a triumphant note, setting the stage for a must-watch match.

Canada’s coach, Jesse Marsch, praised his team for their strong performance in the tournament.

Canada’s Jonathan Osorio stayed down after being tangled up with Betancur along the sideline, and the aftermath turns into a bit of acrimony between the teams. It wouldn’t be the first…or the second time at this tournament that things boil over.

Right now, both teams seem to have calmed down after a moment, but it’s a situation to watch.

Canada dealt with the set piece from the De Fougerolles foul, but the resulting corner kick leads to an 8th-minute goal for Uruguay. Rodrigo Betancur was a bit lucky to have the ball fall to his feet, but the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder did very well to spin and fire past Dayne St. Clair.

18-year-old defender Luc de Fougerolles picks up a 7th-minute booking for a foul on Maximiliano Araújo.

We’re underway at Bank of America Stadium.
