Uruguay and Paraguay qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2021 Copa America on Thursday, beating Bolivia in Cuiaba (center of Brazil) and Chile in Brasilia, respectively, by the same score of 2-0. These results eliminate Bolivia, which can no longer mathematically advance to the next round.
On the Uruguayan side, the opening of the scoring came on a cross from Giorgian De Arrascaeta deflected by the Bolivian defender Jairo Quinteros then by his goalkeeper Carlos Lampe, scorer against his side (40th). Edinson Cavani then doubled the bet by taking a perfect cross from young Facundo Torres (79th). It was the 52nd goal of the “Matador” in selection. Paraguay, for its part, defeated Chile, which had already qualified, thanks to a header from Braian Samudio (33rd) and a penalty from Miguel Almiron (58th).

One last day to find out who will steal Brazil
Behind Argentina which dominates this group A with 7 points are Paraguay (6 points), Chile (5) and Uruguay (4). The first four of each group of five qualify for the quarterfinals, and Bolivia, which has no points, is therefore eliminated, one day from the end of the group.
The last day of this group, scheduled for Monday evening (Tuesday 00:00 GMT), features the Paraguay-Uruguay posters in Rio de Janeiro, and Argentina-Bolivia in Cuiaba, Chile being exempt. The main stake is to know who will finish in 4th place, which guarantees as quarterly opponents Brazil, host country, defending champion and favorite of the competition. It will be Uruguay if they lose or draw. If Celeste wins, 4th place will go to Chile.
