With this victory, the “Celeste” has 6 points out of 6 in play and closes the group against the host United States, which has 3 points after a surprising defeat against Panama.
With +7 goal difference, with a draw (and even a defeat) they will be first in the group, and would only be eliminated if they are beaten by the local team and in turn Panama beats Bolivia, already eliminated.

How Uruguay and Bolivia got to this duel
The Uruguayans comfortably beat Panama 3-1 on the first day, in a match in which they generated many scoring opportunities, although there was a lack of precision in the definition. Marcelo Bielsa chose not to field key players such as Josema Giménez, Rodrigo Bentancur, Nicolás De la Cruz and Luis Suárez, demonstrating the depth of his squad.
Bolivia, meanwhile, had a poor performance against the tournament hosts, the United States. From the start, they failed to live up to expectations, conceding a goal from Christian Pulisic in the third minute, followed by another from Folarin Balogun, culminating in a 2-0 defeat.
