USA crashes out of Copa America after loss to Uruguay, Panama advances to quarterfinals with win over Bolivia.
The United States crashed out of the Copa America on July 1 after a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay, as Panama sealed their place in the quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Bolivia.
Team USA, who suffered an upset 2-1 defeat to Panama last Thursday, went into Monday’s final Group C game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City needing to match or better Panama’s result against Bolivia to advance.
But US coach Gregg Berhalter’s side never looked like doing enough to seriously threaten a well-drilled Uruguay outfit who advance to the last eight as group winners.
“It’s difficult to say right now, obviously the emotions are running high,” disappointed US captain Christian Pulisic said.
“We had a good start and brought a lot of energy, but just didn’t have enough quality. We just couldn’t find a solution.”
Hopes of a great escape for the tournament hosts faded inside the first 30 minutes, as news filtered through that Panama had taken a 1-0 lead against Bolivia in Orlando.
Those hopes were revived early in the second half after Bolivia equalised to make it 1-1, leaving the US on course for qualification provided they continued to hold Uruguay.
