The Uruguayan National Team should have had a hint it wasn't going to be their night before the opening match of Copa America against Mexico in Glendale, Arizona Sunday night. As the teams lined up for the playing of the national anthems, the University of Phoenix stadium played the national anthem of Chile.
Things went downhill from there.
In the 4th minute, Uruguayan defender Alvaro Perieira started the scoring - for Mexico - by heading the ball into his own goal. Just before halftime, Matias Vecino was sent off for a second yellow card after kicking a Mexican player, leaving Uruguay with 10 players.
Despite being down a man, Uruguay rallied when Diego Godin scored off a set piece in the 74th minute. But being down a man proved too much and Mexico went up for good when Rafa Marquez scored in the 85th minute. El Tri made the final 3-1 with goal in stoppage time.
