Iran Press/ America: Uruguay had its first win in the tournament against Bolivia, which could have jumped ahead on the table, but is out of the tournament due to Paraguay's convincing victory against Chile.
Uruguay's victory started after Bolivian goalkeeper Carlos Lampe, one of the best players of the match, had an own goal in the 40th minute.
Edinson Cavani doubled the Uruguayan lead from short range in the 79th minute at the Arena Pantanal in Cuiaba. It was the veteran striker's first goal for Uruguay since November.
Paraguay beat Chile with a header by Braian Samudio in the 33rd minute and a goal from the spot by Miguel Almirón in the 58th.
Uruguay and Paraguay will clash on Monday in a match that could decide which team faces defending champions and favorites Brazil in the quarterfinals. Chile could also take that spot.
The 2021 Copa America, the 47th edition of the Copa América, is being held without public attendance in Brazil.
