Uruguay vs. Panama: Copa América TV channel, live stream, lineups, preview
Uruguay go into their first Copa America match in good form having defeated Mexico 4-0 in a friendly in their last game. Darwin Nunez scored a hat-trick against the Mexicans and he has now scored 11 goals with three assists in 23 games for his country. He is yet to live up to expectations for Liverpool but will be key to Uruguay's attack this summer. Facundo Pellistri got their other goal against El Tri.
La Celeste have a dangerous attack which still includes Luis Suarez of Inter Miami. Suarez may be 37 years old but he has still managed 12 goals and five assists in 16 MLS games this year.
The Uruguayans are now managed by Marcelo Bielsa. He guided Argentina to the final of Copa America in 2004 but they lost to Brazil on penalties in Peru. The manager's biggest achievement recently was getting Leeds United promoted to the Premier League as he won the Championship with them during the 2019/20 season. He is known for his obsessive preparation for matches and developing a side with immense work rate.
They will be expected to beat Panama — who lost to Paraguay 1-0 in their last game while also losing captain Anibal Godoy to injuy — and follow this up with a victory over Bolivia. Uruguay will then face the USMNT in a mouthwatering showdown.
