In a crucial Copa América 2024 match, Uruguay took the lead against the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) with a goal by Mathias Olivera in the 66th minute. The goal was upheld after a VAR review, despite controversy and complaints about officiating. As it stands, the USMNT needs an equalizer to advance to the knockout stage. Concurrently, Panama retook the lead against Bolivia, complicating the USMNT's path forward with a 2-1 scoreline. Haji Wright was substituted in for the USMNT as they struggled to create chances and faced relentless pressure from Uruguay. The match has been described as intense and poorly officiated, with the USMNT currently out of the tournament.
