Canada and Uruguay face off this Saturday night (13/7), at 9pm (Brasilia time) at the Bank Of America Stadium in Charlotte, to battle for third place in the Copa América. In the semi-finals, the Canadians were eliminated by Argentina. The Uruguayans – who eliminated Brazil in the quarter-finals – fell to Colombia. Both want a successful farewell, a consolation prize.

Where to watch

The SporTV channel broadcasts from 9:00 p.m. (Brasilia time).

How is Canada doing?

Coach Jesse Marsh will only be without injured defender Buchanan. But as he liked the formation of the last games, he should send Shaffelburg to the team. In this way, he will keep the star of the team, Alphonso Davies, in his original position, left back. In any case, for the rest, they enter with the same formation that had a historic campaign in this first participation in the Copa América.

How is Uruguay doing?

Uruguay held their training sessions behind closed doors and in a tense atmosphere due to the unrest that occurred after the match against Colombia. In fact, the topic occupied the press conference of coach Marcelo Bielsa this Friday. After all, the captain spoke practically only about what had happened and the poor organization, even arguing with journalists. He complained that the players had been criticized for defending their families in the confusion with the fans (one of their journalists withdrew). In this environment, Bielsa gave no indication whether he would play to the maximum or give a chance to the players with the lowest ranking in the Copa América. But what is certain is that the full-backs Varela (sent off against Colombia) and De la Cruz (suspended for accumulating yellow cards) are absent. However, there is good news, since Nãndez is back from suspension.
