Uruguay - Mexico

Copa America

Uruguay have been kind of disappointing so far, with only 2 points after their matches against Chile and Peru, so in this last round of the group stage, they are more or less in a must-win situation. They could indeed qualify from the third place, but it's way to risky to play it like that, and since they are facing the only team with zero points after 2 rounds, I'm sure they'll go for the kill. Uruguay has huge quality up-front, and even though they haven't been anything special so far, I think it's time they start showing some skills. Extra-motivation for them could be that a win here will also very likely see them winning the group, as Chile and Peru have a tough match (I expect a draw there), so a two-goal win over Mexico should be enough. The Mexicans have lived up to their 'expectations', and haven't been able to take a single point from Chile and Peru. The lack of experience from within their ranks had a major impact on the team, as the players simply looked unable to cope with their more prestigious opponents. And so far they haven't had to deal with Suarez, Forlan or Cavanni. Should be a big motivation for Uruguay here, and I expect them to go for the kill. GL!

Uruguay (-0.75 AH) @ 1.74, 5/10
Result: 1-0, HALF WON
