Shocking elimination for the host United States as they are forced to exit the Copa America 2024 knockout stage after a 1-0 loss to Uruguay in Kansas City - Uruguay skillfully capitalized on the result thanks to Mathias Olivera's goal in the 66th minute.
Uruguay thus finishes top of Group C with maximum points, while second place goes to Panama, who beat Bolivia 3-1 in Orlando to secure a historic qualification with their 6 points overall, leaving the United States in third place with 3 points.
In the USA, Weston McKennie played 90 minutes against Uruguay, supporting the attacking trio of Pulisic-Balogun-Reyna, unable to count on the suspended Timothy Weah - who was sent off in the previous match against Panama.
