Captain Pulisic struggles as hosts United States are eliminated from Copa América

The United States were removed from the Cup America after a 1-0 loss against Uruguay Monday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Mathías Olivera’s goal in the 66th minute, from a set piece, was the decisive one, despite controversy over a possible offside.

The US needed a win to advance after Panama beat Bolivia 3-1 in the other group match.

However, the American team struggled on offense, managing only eight shot attempts.

Uruguayan goalkeeper Sergio Rochet stopped all four shots on target to support his team.

Uruguay needed a draw to progress to the next round, but eventually won.
