The Dramatic End Of Bolivia Vs Uruguay In Copa America

JAKARTA - Uruguay successfully won their first match against Bolivia with a score of 2-0 in the 2021 Copa America Group A continuation at the Pantanal Arena, Brazil on Friday morning, western Indonesia time.

Uruguay played attacking since the match started. In the 2nd minute, midfielder Fede Valverde tested Carlos Lampe's ability with a long-range shot that was still wide.

Bolivia can only reply in the 15th minute. Roberto Fernandez fired a shot from outside the penalty box, which also still has not met the target, as reported by Antara.

La Celeste played more and more dominant as the match progressed. They continued to confine Bolivia, but it was still difficult to break through the tight defensive line of the opponent. Uruguay finally broke the deadlock five minutes before the break by Jairo Quinteros's own goal.

Starting from Uruguay's quick counter-attack, Giorgian De Arrascaeta sent a pull pass in front of the goal mouth which was wrongly anticipated by Jairo Quinteros before hitting the ball at the feet of Carlos Lampe so it went into his own net. The 1-0 score lasted until halftime.

Uruguay actually played more attacking and was able to record two consecutive attempts in the 52nd minute through Edinson Cavani and Ramiro Vaca kicks, but both chances were still saved by Carlos Lampe.

La Celeste was finally able to add another advantage in the 79th minute through Cavani's right-footed kick in the penalty box after maximizing Facundo Torres' bait. Position to 2-0.

The score lasted until the game broke up Bolivia vs Uruguay. The addition of these three points makes Uruguay move up to third in the Copa America 2021 Group A standings with four points.
