Copa america 2019: “It was an accident’ – Tabarez on Peru losing 5-0 against Brazil
Uruguay is counting on eight players who have already won Copa America to show their experience and beat Peru in the quarterfinals on Saturday and remain on course for its 16th Copa title.
In 2011, Uruguay beat Peru 2-0 in the semifinals and Paraguay 3-0 in the final.
The experienced squad is nearly the same that lost to France in the World Cup quarterfinals last year. Only six changes were made to the group of 23 that went to Russia.
The winner of the quarterfinal in Salvador will face Colombia or Chile in the semifinals.
