Uruguay have started well and aim for a second consecutive victory in the 2024 Copa América. Manchester United’s Facundo Pellistri scored the first goal of the contest in the eighth minute as Uruguay took a 1-0 lead.
It was another Premier League player making an appearance on the scoresheet to increase La Celeste’s lead to 2-0 as Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez found the back of the net for a second straight game.
A win for Uruguay will see them finish first in Group C after the United States lost to Panama on Thursday.
