USA Crashes Out of Copa América After 1-0 Loss to Uruguay
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Copa América hosts USA suffered a shock group stage exit following a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City. The loss, coupled with Panama’s concurrent victory over Bolivia, sealed the fate of Gregg Berhalter’s team, who needed at least a draw to have a chance of advancing to the quarter-finals.

Coming off a precarious position after a surprise 2-1 loss to Panama, the USA entered the match against the 15-time Copa América champions with their hopes hanging by a thread. Despite needing a result, the hosts struggled to convert their early intensity into genuine scoring opportunities. Uruguay, under the tactical guidance of Marcelo Bielsa, mirrored their hosts’ early difficulties but displayed characteristic energy and pressed relentlessly.

The first half saw limited action in front of goal. Darwin Núñez and Matías Viña’s speculative efforts were the closest Uruguay came to breaking the deadlock, neither troubling US goalkeeper Matt Turner. Meanwhile, the Americans were dealt a blow as forward Folarin Balogun had to be substituted after a collision with Uruguay’s keeper, Sergio Rochet.

With news filtering through that Panama had taken the lead against Bolivia, the pressure mounted on the US to find a breakthrough. Yet, the urgency did little to improve their attacking output. Instead, it was Uruguay who capitalized on a defensive lapse. In the 72nd minute, Mathías Oliveira bundled the ball into the net from close range after a save from Turner. The goal stood despite appeals for offside from the US camp.

As Panama doubled their lead, the US’s hopes of advancing dwindled. Even though they needed just a win, the Americans looked far from scoring against the disciplined Uruguayans. Nicolás de la Cruz nearly doubled the lead for Uruguay, but his attempt was well-saved by Turner.

The final whistle confirmed the USA’s exit from the tournament, a major disappointment on home soil. This early exit exposed significant areas for improvement as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will also be hosted in the USA. In contrast, Uruguay moved forward with a perfect record, setting up a potentially mouth-watering quarter-final clash against either Brazil or Colombia.
