Canada&#8217;s Ismael Kone responded with a spectacular scissor kick 14 minutes later to level the score.<\/p>\n<p>Uruguay had a chance to retake the lead shortly after Canada&#8217;s equalizer, but Facundo Pellistri&#8217;s goal was disallowed for offside. Canada then took the lead in the 80th minute when Jonathan David slotted home a rebound after Kone&#8217;s long-range effort was parried by Uruguay&#8217;s goalkeeper Sergio Rochet.<\/p>\n<p>Uruguay pressed for an equalizer and found it in the 92nd minute when Luis Suarez, the country&#8217;s all-time leading goalscorer, perfectly timed his run to connect with a pass from Jose Maria Gimenez, scoring his 69th international goal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Timeless.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MichelobULTRA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@MichelobULTRA<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SuperiorPOTM?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#SuperiorPOTM<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Xmil6DxWpC\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/Xmil6DxWpC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CONMEBOL Copa Am\u00e9rica\u2122\ufe0f ENG (@copaamerica_ENG) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/copaamerica_ENG\/status\/1812317958930047344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 14, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In the penalty shootout, Uruguay emerged victorious with a 4-3 win.
