La Celeste and the Blanquirroja open big their Copa America, leaving Argentina and Ecuador at the bottom of the groups
Uruguay found a perfect way to begin their spell at the Copa America Fútbol Playa Santos 2016, beating their arch-rivals Argentina at the beach soccer Clasico del Rio de la Plata. The 1-3 win by the Uruguayans leave the Albiceleste as the last in Group A, making it impossible for Petrasso’s lads to earn a spot in the final of the competition.
In Group B, Peru also had a very convincing first step in the competition, following a stout 3-6 win over Ecuador. That defeat also leaves La Tri in a very difficult position, whereas the Peruvians flex their muscles going into the third matchday, where they will try to extend their momentum.
Venezuela got back on the race following a convincing win over Colombia in the opening game of this second day at the Copa América Fútbol Playa Santos 2016. The Vinotinto confirmed what everybody saw yesterday, despite their defeat to Paraguay: they are ready to target the highest places in the competition.
Bolivia brought on one of the biggest surprises of the event yet in this second matchday. La Verde bounced back from the tough defeat yesterday to hosts Brazil with a narrow win over Chile that messes the whole Group A up. After managing a 0-3 advantage in the first two periods, the Bolivian side contained La Roja’s offensive charge to keep them one goal down, thus clinching the points at stake.
