Player ratings: Musah, Pulisic ineffective as USMNT exit Copa

KANSAS CITY, Missouri -- The United States were eliminated from Copa America after a 1-0 loss to Uruguay at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Tuesday.

With Panama defeating Bolívia 3-1 in the group's other match, the U.S. needed a win to advance, but Mathías Olivera's 66th-minute goal on a set piece was allowed to stand despite coming very close to being offside, and that made the difference. The U.S. generated only eight shot attempts worth 0.41 xG, and keeper Sergio Rochet saved all four that were put on goal.
