Uruguay clinched third place in the Copa America after a dramatic penalty shootout win against Canada, according to People's Person.
The match, which ended 2-2 in regulation time, saw early action with Uruguay's swift goal in the eighth minute. Canada leveled the score through Ismaël Koné, setting the stage for a thrilling contest.
Jonathan David's goal in the 80th minute gave Canada a surprising lead, but Uruguay's Luis Suarez equalized in the 92nd minute, forcing the match into penalties.
Canada's Alphonso Davies missed a crucial panenka penalty, handing the victory to the South Americans.
Despite having less possession at 49% and fewer shots (12 compared to Canada's 14), Uruguay managed to hold their nerve during the shootout.
Facundo Pellistri had a challenging game and was substituted after 60 minutes.
His performance, rated 6.7 by Sofascore, reflected his struggle, having no shots on goal and only 19 touches throughout the game.
Pellistri’s tournament started strong but waned as it progressed, mirroring his semi-final performance against Colombia where he completed just three passes.
Defensively, he was more involved, winning four out of nine ground duels and his sole aerial battle.
However, his carelessness in possession, losing the ball eight times and conceding four fouls, was notable.
Looking ahead, Pellistri faces uncertainty about his future at Manchester United.
With the potential retention of Jadon Sancho and competition from Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford, Amad Diallo, and Antony, Pellistri’s position seems precarious.
