LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- Amid the glitz and glamor of a Saturday night in Vegas, one of the hottest acts in town was that of a pugnacious but brave Uruguay that beat Brazil to book their place in the Copa América semifinals.
A scrappy 10-man quarterfinal victory at Allegiant Stadium -- which marked stunning back-to-back undefeated results against the CONMEBOL giants since last year -- was ultimately secured by winning a penalty shootout 4-2 after the match ended goalless. Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa and his players are now one result away from a much-coveted spot in the championship game.
