On July 1, 2024, the U.S. Men’s National Team concluded their 2024 Copa América campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 defeat against Uruguay at GEHA Field in Kansas City.
The match saw Mathías Olivera score a controversial 66th-minute goal, clinching Uruguay's victory and advancing them to the quarterfinals. Despite a spirited effort, the USA's third-place finish in Group C, behind Uruguay and Panama, meant they narrowly missed progression. Head coach Gregg Berhalter's tactical adjustments, including reinstating key players like Yunus Musah, couldn't overturn Uruguay's early lead secured amidst VAR scrutiny.
