Group A: Argentina Handles Peru 2-0, Canada Draws Chile

Argentina 2, Peru 0

Argentina's match with Peru began somewhat slow with neither team managing to find the net through the first half.

Argentina showed flashes of offense early on, controlling 79.3 percent of the possession and getting six shots with three on goal, but it couldn't break through and score through the first 45.

Leandro Paredes came close to scoring in the first half, but a tremendous defensive effort from Peru meant an even score heading into halftime.

Peru was also responsible for 10 fouls in the first half, hurting its chances of finding a groove on offense.

Argentina quickly found the net in the second half as Lautaro Martínez scored in the 47th minute to give his team a 1-0 lead. The goal for Martínez was his third in as many games.

Paredes later had the chance to give Argentina some insurance with a penalty kick, but missed it off the post.

But the missed penalty kick ultimately didn't come back to hurt Argentina as it managed to find the net once more, again on a goal from Martínez in the 86th minute.

With just minutes to go, Argentina held strong on defense to win both the match and the group.

Canada 0, Chile 0

Canada and Chile proved to be a physical matchup through the first 45, with 13 fouls between the two teams in the opening half. That physicality led to little offense early on as Canada had two shots on goal and Chile had one.

The early physicality also proved costly for Chile as Gabriel Suazo picked up a red card after 27 minutes.

The second half didn't provide much more offense for either side. The match provided much more physicality than it did goal-scoring as there were a combined 23 fouls between the two sides—Canada with 15 of those.

But all Canada needed was a draw or better, and it now advances to the knockout round.

Group D: Colombia Shuts out Costa Rica; Brazil Defeats Paraguay

Colombia 3, Costa Rica 0

Colombia extended their unbeaten streak to 25 straight matches with a 3-0 shutout of Costa Rica on Friday.

Luis Díaz, Davinson Sánchez and Jhon Córdoba scored as Colombia secured a spot in the Copa América quarterfinals.

Colombia looked every bit the squad that has not lost a game since February 2022 as they largely controlled possession through 31 minutes before Díaz scored the eventual game-winner on a penalty kick.

Costa Rica, which is fielding the youngest squad in the tournament, conceded the loss after shocking Brazil with a scoreless tie earlier this week.

Securing at least one point against Brazil during Tuesday's group stage finale will ensure Colombia finishes atop Group D.

Brazil 4, Paraguay 1

Brazil recovered from an upset draw against Costa Rica by scoring four times in the team's first group stage victory against Paraguay.

Vinícius Júnior scored two goals in the first half to put Brazil ahead.

Paraguay's Omar Alderete opened the second half with a goal to cut into Brazil's lead.

Brazil's Lucas Paquetá, who missed a penalty earlier in the game, earned redemption by scoring to polish off the victory.

Brazil will face its toughest opponent of the tournament so far Tuesday when the team takes on undefeated Group D leader Colombia.

Group C: Panama Beats 10-man USA; Uruguay Crushes Bolivia

Panama 2, USA 1

Panama took full advantage of the United States going down to 10 men following a Timothy Weah red card in the 18th minute and defeated the hosts 2-1 on Thursday in Atlanta.

Despite the red card, the United States went up 1-0 after Folarin Balogun's 22nd-minute strike.

However, Panama knotted the match at one just four minutes later after César Blackman's goal.

Pulisic looked as though he may have drawn a foul in the box in the 42nd minute, but nothing was called.

At halftime, the United States switched goalies after Matt Turner suffered a leg injury.

Despite being down a man, the United States had its chances, perhaps none better than Ricardo Pepi here:

However, Panama eventually broke through in the 83rd minute, with José Fajardo delivering the great finish.

The U.S. got a big break, though, when Panama went down to 10 men in the 88th minute after Adalberto Carrasquilla's tackle on Christian Pulisic.

The U.S.' best chance after that occurred in stoppage time off a free kick, but the shot went over the crossbar.

Panama possessed the ball for 73.6 percent of the time and had 13 shot attempts to the United States' six. Both are now 1-0-1 in group play.

Uruguay 5, Bolivia 0

The tournament's biggest blowout thus far occurred Thursday as Uruguay crushed Bolivia 5-0, all but assuring the team first place in the group standings.

Uruguay had 18 shot attempts (nine on goal) to Bolivia's four (one on goal).

Facundo Pellistri and Darwin Núñez scored in the first half for a 2-0 edge.

The game remained 2-0 for the first 32 minutes of the second half before Maximiliano Araújo, Federico Valverde and Rodrigo Bentancur scored within a 12-minute span.

No team had beaten another by more than two goals in this tournament until Uruguay's win. The team has now outscored its opponents 8-1 after taking down Panama 3-1 to begin the tournament.

Group B: Ecuador Beats Jamaica; Venezuela Takes Down Mexico

Ecuador 3, Jamaica 1

Ecuador's knockout round hopes remain alive after defeating Jamaica 3-1 on Wednesday in Las Vegas.

Ecuador got on the board in the 13th minute. Officially, it goes in the books as a Kasey Palmer own goal, but Piero Hincapié launched an incredibly powerful and accurate cross that happened to deflect off the midfielder and into the net from a near-impossible angle.

Ecuador looked as if it would go into the half up 1-0, but the team was given a gift after a handball in the box.

Kendry Páez took care of the rest.

In the second half, Michail Antonio got one back for Jamaica for its first-ever Copa América goal. A corner kick led to a point-blank blocked shot, and then Antonio put in the rebound in the 54th minute.

Jamaica could not get the equalizer, though. Ecuador later added one more goal in stoppage time courtesy of a fantastic run from Alan Minda.

Ecuador finished with 23 shot attempts to Jamaica's seven, but Jamaica had four shots on goal to Ecuador's three. Jamaica also had 18 fouls and four yellow cards on the evening.

Venezuela 1, Mexico 0

Salomón Rondón's 57th-minute penalty proved to be the match's lone goal, pushing Venezuela into the knockout round.

Jon Aramburu drew a foul on Julián Quiñones in the box to set up the goal:

Then Venezuela held on.

Rafael Romo made a huge save in the 68th minute to keep it 1-0.

Another chance rolled on by 11 minutes later.

Mexico got a great chance, though, following a handball in the box.

But Romo came through once again, saving the penalty from Orbelín Pineda.

Romo somehow had time for more heroics in stoppage time before sealing the win.

This was a heartbreaker for Mexico, which had 18 shot attempts and five on goal but could not come through despite amazing chances.

Group A: Canada and Argentina Earn 1-0 Victories

Canada 1, Peru 0

Jonathan David's 74th-minute strike gave Canada a 1-0 victory over Peru on Tuesday in Kansas City.

Peru played with 10 men after centerback Miguel Araujo got a red card (following a review) for a dangerous challenge on winger Jacob Shaffelburg.

Shaffelburg later found David on a blistering counter attack to set up the game's lone goal.

Peru fired nine shots on goal to Canada's five and had four shots on goal to its opponent's two. However, Canada emerged victorious to put itself in great position to advance to the knockout round.

Canada is making its Copa América debut. Tuesday marked the country's first-ever goal and win in the tournament after Canada fell 2-0 to defending World Cup champions Argentina in the first match.

Argentina 1, Chile 0

Argentina will be moving onto the knockout round after beating Chile 1-0 behind Lautaro Martínez's 88th-minute goal following a corner kick on Tuesday.

The goal went to VAR review for offside but stood.

The two teams played in front of a raucous crowd from East Rutherford, New Jersey's MetLife Stadium.

Lionel Messi had a great chance in the first half for Argentina, but his shot rang off the post:

Somehow, the score was level at zero at halftime:

Both teams had fantastic chances in the second half:

But Martínez's goal proved to be the match's only one, even though Argentina was very close to a second.

Argentina finished with 22 shot attempts (including nine on goal) to Chile's three (all on goal).

Argentina will be back in action on Saturday against Peru, while Chile will take on Group A's second-best team in Canada.

The quarterfinals begin on July 4.

Group D: Colombia Starts with Win; Brazil and Costa Rica Play Scoreless Draw

Colombia 2, Paraguay 1

Colombia is on the board with their first win of the Copa América thanks to a 2-1 victory over Paraguay that they largely controlled.

James Rodríguez was magic with the ball at his feet in the first half and assisted both of the goals. Daniel Muñoz headed in the first one, while Jefferson Lerma headed in the second one to open up some breathing room.

That breathing room was important, as Paraguay cut the deficit in half when Julio Enciso found the back of the net in the 69th minute.

Paraguay was unable to find the equalizer, though, as Colombia finished the game with 67.6 percent possession. They also had the best chance to score down the stretch with what looked like a penalty kick, but it was overturned upon review.

The biggest question in the final minutes was whether Paraguay could even see the goal they were moving toward since colored smoke from the crowd hovered over the playing surface.

Alas, Colombia's defense stood strong and preserved the win.

Brazil 0, Costa Rica 0

The first game of Monday's slate featured plenty of firepower, while the second one did not.

Yet Brazil was clearly the superior side statistically despite the 0-0 draw with Costa Rica.

Brazil finished with 73.6 percent of the possession and 19 shot attempts to Costa Rica's two. However, only three of the 19 shots for Brazil were actually on target, so they will surely look back at the result with disappointment.

Had a few more of the shots been better located, they likely would have come away with a win.

Brazil is still in ideal position to advance if they can take care of business in games against Paraguay and Colombia.

Still, defeating Colombia will be easier said than done given the way both teams played in their Copa América openers.

Group C: United States and Uruguay Secure Comfortable Victories

United States 2, Bolivia 0

Christian Pulisic's third-minute goal set the tone for a dominant 2-0 victory over Bolivia to kick off the Stars and Stripes' Copa América campaign in Arlington, Texas' AT&T Stadium.

The USMNT won a quick corner kick early to set up the match's most pivotal moment. Pulisic nudged a quick and short pass to Timothy Weah, who sent the ball back to his teammate. The captain then launched a beautiful shot at the back post for the quick 1-0 advantage.

Pulisic then showed respect to the USMNT's set-piece coach:

He also joined a new list following his 30th goal for the national team.

The United States kept the pressure up through the first half and finally broke through when Folarin Balogun placed a great shot from the left side of the box to the right corner of the goal following a Pulisic pass in the 44th minute.

The United States never scored again, but it wasn't for lack of trying, as the team had multiple chances to break through. Ricardo Pepi had the best chance late but got denied by a fantastic Guillermo Viscarra save.

Overall, the United States had 20 shot attempts (eight on goal) to Bolivia's six shot attempts (three on goal).

Uruguay 3, Panama 1

Uruguay cruised to a 3-1 victory over Panama at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on Sunday.

Maximiliano Araújo scored a phenomenal goal in the 16th minute thanks to some help from his teammates to put Uruguay ahead.

Both teams had multiple scoring chances through the first and second half, but neither side could break through again until the 85th minute.

But with time winding down, Darwin Núñez came through.

Matías Viña added one in stoppage time for Uruguay before Panama got one on the board via Michael Murillo.

Uruguay took 20 shot attempts (seven on goal) to Panama's seven shot attempts (two on goal).

Group B: Mexico, Venezuela Earn Wins

Venezuela 2, Ecuador 1

Two quick goals helped Venezuela open Group B play with a 2-1 victory over Ecuador.

Despite losing captain Enner Valencia on a red card in the 22nd minute, Jeremy Sarmiento put his shorthanded team on the board first:

Venezuela launched a comeback in the second half, as a save by Alexander Dominguez led to a tying goal from Jhonder Cadiz:

Venezuela's Eduard Bello scored 10 minutes later to finish off the comeback.

Venezuela will now continue their bid for their first World Cup qualification by taking an early Group B lead. They are currently the only South American team to never appear in the tournament.

Mexico 1, Jamaica 0

Mexico opened group stage play with a win, but lost captain Edson Álvarez to injury during Saturday night's 1-0 shutout of Jamaica.

Álvarez was subbed off with a non-contact injury in the first half.

The game remained scoreless until the 69th minute, when Mexico's Gerardo Arteaga put a cross from Érick Sánchez in the back of the net:

Mexico will hope to receive good news about Álvarez's injury status before Wednesday's match against Venezuela.

Group A: Argentina Defeats Canada; Peru and Chile Play to a Scoreless Draw

Hector Vivas/Getty Images

Argentina began their defense of the 2021 Copa América title in style, beating Canada 2-0 in the opening group match of the tournament,

While Argentina boast arguably the greatest soccer player of all time in Lionel Messi, they didn't need him to score in order to get off to a winning start.

After a scoreless first half, Julián Álvarez scored in the 49th minute to give La Albiceleste a 1-0 lead, and Lautaro Martínez added an insurance marker in the 88th minute to cement the 2-0 victory:

While Messi missed on a couple of golden scoring opportunities, he made a perfect pass to Martínez on his goal, showing that he can impact the game in myriad ways.

Peru 0, Chile 0

A physical match between Peru and Chile ended in a scoreless draw on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The theme and tone of this match was set early:

Chile had the match's best scoring opportunity in the 15th minute, when Alexis Sánchez found himself with a point-blank shot for a goal. Unfortunately, he could not finish.

Peru had a nice opportunity off a set piece in the first half, but Chile goaltender Claudio Bravo was there for the save.

Bravo was the hero of this match, making another great save in the second half to preserve the draw.

Chile possessed the ball 65 percent of the time to Peru's 35 percent. Peru had six shots (three on goal). Chile had eight but only one on goal. The two teams also conceded 18 fouls apiece and combined for four yellow cards (three for Chile).
