00:00They've been beaten let's be very honest. So we head to penalty, he also barks out the order
00:13Gonna have a huddle for Canada
00:30Apologies for the snippets of language
00:37The key phrases there for me Jesse Marseille to Canada we didn't finish off the job
00:45Teams have paid for that against the team like Uruguay time and again
01:00And
01:08So Uruguay through in the quarterfinal against Brazil on penalties
01:16Successful four out of the five kicks in that game
01:21Suarez takes over captain's duties as does Alphonso Davies for Canada
01:26I think both may be expected to take a penalty
01:56Oh
02:26Max Krepau the senior goalkeeper not involved tonight
02:38Last minute pep-talk from him to St. Clair
02:45Uruguay's first-choice goalkeeper Rochette has not had a good night so far
02:51Still standing in the shadow of the departed Muslera
02:55But maybe now he can contribute largely for Uruguay
03:13Jonathan David to go first for Canada the man who put them to one up
03:17The man who's done so much for them over the years, especially on the route to the 2002 FIFA World Cup
03:47David
04:11Can't really start much better than that. Here's Valverde
04:18Who came so close to a spectacular goal in open play at that end
04:28Smashing one against the crossbar
04:38Valverde against St. Clair
04:40Oh
04:44Two high-quality players have just shown the world how to take a penalty
05:04Outstanding game tonight from Moisa Bombito
05:10St. Clair
05:41Not sure if it's something he said or something he did but that's a yellow for St. Clair
06:04A little bit of a wait for Bombito
06:10Could have waited all night and still done that
06:41Bentancourt
06:46An early goal tonight
06:51Now a couple of hours later Uruguay need him to find the net again
06:58Which he does
07:00Perhaps the best of the lot
07:10Uruguay
07:18All square
07:22Another top performer tonight, Ismael Kone
07:41Kone
07:52Kone
07:54Oh slow, it was telegraphed
07:58It was soft
07:59It was saved by Rochett
08:10It was an easy save by Rochett
08:22Got there comfortably
08:26Georgian de Ascareta
08:28Who came on late
08:30Tried to add something up front
08:32Couldn't find the net
08:34Now he can and if he does Uruguay will be in front
08:37He does
08:38Didn't take much risk with that one
08:40Straight down the middle
08:56Uruguay 3-2 up
09:09Uruguay
09:16Mathieu
09:18Traunier
09:28Power
09:29And it got in there
09:30Despite Rochett getting gloves on it
09:35He couldn't punch it out
09:37And he couldn't parry it
09:47Level again
09:49And here comes Luis Suarez now
09:59They wouldn't even be in this position without him
10:03His late, late leveller
10:08Suarez
10:10Done that before, hasn't he?
10:234-3 Uruguay
10:33Nearly there, nearly but not quite
10:38Uruguay
10:44Alphonso Davies to keep Canada in it
10:53Took a terrific penalty in the last shootout
10:56Not tonight
10:59He tried a completely different approach
11:02But all he's done I'm afraid is lead Canada
11:05Out the exit door
11:07They've lost and Uruguay have prevailed
11:10In the shootout
11:13A smile at last from Rochett
11:16The goalkeeper who's had a torrid night
11:19And a torrid week
11:21Comes to a satisfactory end
11:23For Bielsa and Uruguay
11:26It's not what they came for, let's be very clear
11:29To finish here in Charlotte, North Carolina
11:32By edging the 3rd and 4th place playoff on penalties
11:37Uruguay have higher ambitions in the football universe than that
11:42But they finish 3rd in the Copa America
11:45For the 10th time in their history
11:48And it's something
11:50Canada may feel they chucked this away
11:53They played outstandingly well
11:56And were on top until deep into stoppage time
11:59But Luis Suarez rolled back the years to level it to force the shootout
12:04And Canada have paid for missing twice in the shootout
12:09Kone and Davies
12:11And it undoes so much that they've done so well
12:15But this has been a very good tournament for Canada
12:18Let's be clear about that
12:20A CONCACAF nation
12:22Finishing in the top 4 in Copa America
12:26Leading the way for USA and Mexico of course
12:30Their co-hosts for the next FIFA World Cup
12:33But in this CONMEBOL run tournament
12:37Surely it's the justification to see the additional teams
12:43In future editions
12:45It's added a whole new dimension
12:47And at the end of it
12:49One of the old order have somehow come away from this game
12:52Here in Charlotte
12:54With a satisfactory outcome
12:58But you won't see too many smiles
13:00Happily
13:02What we will not be seeing
13:04All being well is any repeat of the
13:07Unfortunate scenes at the end of the game against Colombia
13:12It's difficult to get to a third and fourth place game
13:16Motivated
13:17The motivation
13:19The pride that we have to have today
13:22Is to compete for the jersey of this country
13:24That represents us a lot
13:26Which we all suffered the defeat the other day
13:30And there was no better way to finish with a victory today
13:34Finish third
13:36And get the positives and correct the negatives
13:39Have you decided your future in the national team?
13:41Was it your last Copa America or not?
13:42Today the important thing is to value the effort of the whole team
13:47And today Suarez's case is that part
14:13Jonathan to be that close to winning a medal
14:16Is it heartbreaking or motivating?
14:19A bit of both
14:21A bit of both I think
14:23We played a great game
14:25We did everything we needed to accept
14:27Maybe be more efficient
14:29Maybe we score 2-3-1 in the first half
14:32Maybe to change the game
14:34But I think we did well
14:36Obviously it's disappointing because
14:38We feel like we're very close to just winning the game
14:40But you know it happens
14:42This is how we need to grow
14:44And from games like this we're going to grow and learn
14:46In terms of growing and learning
14:48Where does this team go now on the road to 2026?
14:51How can this team grow to get to a point
14:53Where it can be back in situations like these?
14:55It's learning from games like this
14:58It's closing out a game
15:00And knowing that if we have to suffer
15:02And not concede the 2-2
15:04We suffer together
15:06It's from games like this that we're going to get better and learn
15:08Thank you Jonathan
15:10Thank you
15:40It's a brilliant group of players
15:42And I mentioned the CONCACAF element to this tournament
15:45Which has been for me such a great success
15:48It's Canada who are setting the standard
15:51For the likes of USA and Mexico
15:53Costa Rica and all the rest
16:03A smile from Bielsa
16:05We haven't seen one of them for a few days
16:10We have an amazing future together
16:20Better than going home empty handed
16:23If you are Uruguay
16:25And the reason ultimately
16:29Is because of the missed penalties
16:33In the shootout by
16:37Alphonso Davies
16:40After Ismael Kone had missed
16:43Or at least had Kone's penalty saved
16:46Davies, I'm afraid
16:48Did the damage all by himself
17:11Murray was outstanding tonight
17:15And trusted
17:17With the captain's armband from the start
17:32Canada take their bow
17:34While Uruguay wait to collect their medals
17:41It will be very interesting to see
17:44How much more the Canadian public
17:47Rally behind this team after their efforts here
17:50The World Cup finals didn't go to plan of course
17:55After they
17:57Qualified for the first time since 1986
18:10Not everybody in the world
18:12Loves Luis Suarez
18:14Let's be very truthful about it
18:16But clearly his own do
18:18And that's important
18:20And what a player he's been for his country
18:23Squeezed so often by Brazil and Argentina
18:30But what pride these players
18:32Take in playing for their country
18:35And what a history they've got
18:36And what talent they keep on producing
18:39They've got to hope that
18:41Some of the newer players
18:43Learn and develop from this
19:02The clear
19:04Suspicion
19:06Is that it might be
19:08The last Copa America for Luis Suarez
19:14If so, a good way to go out
19:34And he's kept going splendidly, didn't he?
19:38Didn't play much in the first part of the tournament
19:43But another of the great servants
20:04All together a more harmonious
20:06Scene
20:08Than it was on this pitch
20:10On Wednesday night
20:12After the game against Colombia
20:33Pistolero, thank you
20:55Certainly some of the younger players
20:57Have learned in this tournament for Uruguay
20:59What it means to be able to
21:00Wear the jersey
21:03And live up to the nation's
21:05Footballing history
21:07A tall order
21:09But hopefully for Uruguay
21:11Palistri, Araujo, Canavia
21:13And the rest will come on
21:16The better
21:18For having been through this test
21:21No question at all
21:23For Canada
21:25Jesse Marsh
21:27Has got a group who are willing
21:28To work to the maximum
21:30And no little ability
21:59Go, go
22:12Go, go
22:20Go, go
22:28Go, go
22:55Ladies and gentlemen
22:56We will begin
22:58The award ceremony
23:00Of the third and fourth place
23:02Of the CONMEBOL Copa America USA
23:052024
23:08And now
23:10The award ceremony
23:12For the third and fourth place
23:14Of the CONMEBOL Copa America USA

23:56So there's a handy financial
23:58Benefit, that's for sure
24:00And no doubt
24:02For Canada
24:04Quite a rise up the FIFA rankings
24:06Which they deserve
24:08They were only just in the top 50
24:10Coming into this tournament
24:13Prestige enhanced
24:15In every way
24:27We did it
24:29We did it
24:31We did it

26:24We did it
26:26And now, we invite the President of the Association of Uruguayan Football, Ignacio Alonso,
26:36to receive the award from José Astigarraga, General Secretary of the Gomebol.
26:44Five million dollars, placed four million dollars at the end of it.
26:48A million dollar penalty, I guess, to win it.
26:56And now, we invite the President of the Association of Uruguayan Football, Ignacio Alonso,
27:02to receive the award from José Astigarraga, General Secretary of the Gomebol.
27:10And now, we invite the President of the Association of Uruguayan Football, Ignacio Alonso,

27:38And now, we invite the President of the Association of Uruguayan Football, Ignacio Alonso,
27:44to receive the award from José Astigarraga, General Secretary of the Gomebol.
27:56But at least in the frame, Uruguay.
28:00I would say Bielsa is in the clear to move forward,
28:04but as long as the Gomebol investigation doesn't punish Uruguay unduly,
28:13they can all move on, absorb the lessons from a tournament which did start so brightly.
28:20And even when they were dispatching the USA, sending the host nation out in the last group game,
28:26although it was narrow in terms of the victory, they looked like they had a little bit of extra class.
28:35It's just that when it really counted, they couldn't deliver it.
28:39And it'll take some time for the pain of the defeat by Colombia to dissipate.
28:49URUGUAY, GOMEBOL
29:19URUGUAY, GOMEBOL
29:49URUGUAY, GOMEBOL
30:07Last man is Luis Suarez, saluted onto the stage.
30:14Niki de la Cruz didn't feature tonight, but he's certainly a player for the future.
30:23A player who's written himself into every recent page in Uruguay's history.
30:31Gets a great send-off.
30:36And he signed off as any top footballer would want to do.
30:44With a meaningful contribution.
30:48So we're about to sign off.
30:50Thank you very much everybody for staying with us here on Premier Sports.
30:54No trophy for Uruguay, but a medal apiece.
30:57A lot of memories, no doubt.
30:59And a great many lessons have been learned by this Uruguay squad under Marcelo Bielsa.
31:06Improvement will be needed, that we can all see.
31:11But ahead of the big show between Argentina and Colombia, Uruguay claim a place in the story of this Copa America 2024.
31:25Well played Uruguay, but well played Canada as well.
31:29Thank you everybody for watching.
31:31We're all counting down to the final tomorrow, which should be a spectacular in every way in Miami.
31:38But from here in Charlotte, North Carolina, we bid you goodnight.
