In today's earliest match, Uruguay showed its superiority by leading Chile by 2 goals before the break thanks to goals from Nicolas de la Cruz and Federico Valverde. This is the result of the blue shirt team's dominance in both ball control and number of shots: 11 times and 4 on target.

Notably, the 4 goals that Real Madrid midfielder Valverde scored for Uruguay in official tournaments all came from outside the penalty area, 2 of which were against Chile.

In the second half, De la Cruz completed his double from a counterattack and Darwin Nunez was the assister, and Chile shortened the score to 1-3.

In the next match, Brazil completely overwhelmed Bolivia to win with a strong score of 5-1. Despite Neymar missing the early penalty kick, the golden army still found consecutive goals after that.

Young striker Rodrygo opened the scoring for Brazil, before completing his double after the referee checked VAR. Raphinha also contributed a goal in the match in which he played excellently, providing great support for his teammates, including an assist for Neymar to set the score 5-1.

After missing the penalty, Neymar made amends with 2 goals, thereby beating Pele's record for the number of goals for the Brazilian team.
