Figueroa goals stun Uruguay

Argentina 4-2 Uruguay

Luciano Figueroa scored his first two international goals as Argentina beat 10-man Uruguay 4-2 in the Copa America.

Fabian Estoyanoff volleyed Uruguay ahead after seven minutes before a Cristian Gonzalez penalty and a Figueroa shot put Argentina ahead.

Uruguay defender Joe Bizera was sent off for a second bookable offence before his team-mate Vicente Sanchez equalised with a wicked 25-yard effort.

Captain Roberto Ayala's header and Figueroa settled matters for Argentina.

Both Group B teams had already qualified for the quarter-finals.


Mexico 2-1 Ecuador

A good performance from forward Adolfo Bautista helped Mexico to top spot in Group B and in turn eliminate Ecuador from the Copa America.

Hector Altamarino gave Mexico the lead after Bautista was tripped by Ecuador goalkeeper Jacinto Espinoza.

Bautista then doubled his side's lead three minutes before half-time when he fired home a 25-yard effort.

Ecuador reduced the deficit in the 71st minute when Agustin Delgado headed home a cross from substitute Franklin Salas.
