Uruguay tops Paraguay 3-1 at Copa America
Dario Silva scored two second-half goals to send Uruguay into the semifinals of the Copa America with a 3-1 win Sunday over Paraguay.
Defender Carlos Gamarra gave Paraguay a 1-0 lead in the 15th, slipping behind the defense to score on a header off Edgar Barreto's free kick. But Gamarra opened the way for Uruguay to tie it in the 39th, tripping up forward Carlos Bueno in the penalty area. Bueno easily converted the penalty kick. In the second half, Silva's shot after a pass from Cristian Rodriguez glanced
off Paraguayan defender Julio Manzur before going in. In the final minutes of
the match, he beat a defender to find the back of the net with a left-footed
shot that went under goalkeeper Justo Villar. |
