Uruguay vs Chile: 2021 Copa America Matchday 3 game preview

Uruguay suffered a 0-1 defeat against Argentina on Matchday 1 of the 2021 Copa America. Guido Rodriguez opened the scoring after 13 minutes, and Oscar Tabarez's men were unable to level the game, returning empty-handed as a result. It was also Uruguay's fourth straight game without a win in all competitions, after previously being held to disappointing goalless draws by both Paraguay and Venezuela in World Cup Qualifiers at the beginning of June.

Meanwhile, Chile picked up a commendable point as they drew 1-1 with group favourites Argentina on matchday 1. Lionel Messi opened the scoring for La Albiceleste with a stunning free-kick but Chile equalised on the hour mark as Eduardo Vargas smashed in the rebound after Emiliano Martinez saved Arturo Vidal's penalty, sealing an impressive point to start their campaign. Martín Lasarte's side then recorded their first win of the tournament last time out, as Ben Brereton netted the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win over strugglers Bolivia.
