Argentina secured a spot in the Copa America quarterfinals by winning Group A with three victories and no goals conceded, despite Lionel Messi sitting out due to injury. Lautaro Martinez shined in Messi's absence, scoring twice in the 2-0 win over Peru, making him the tournament's top scorer with four goals. Meanwhile, Uruguay also moved closer to the quarterfinals with a dominant 5-0 win over Bolivia, featuring standout performances from Darwin Nunez and Facundo Pellistri. Nunez's goal extended his impressive streak to seven consecutive matches, equaling a national record. The United States will need a decisive win against Uruguay to advance from Group C, with goal differentials playing a crucial role in their qualification chances.
