Two wins from two for the Nerazzurri in the Copa America overnight, on the final matchday of the group stages. There were wins for both Argentina and Uruguay, who finished top and second respectively in Group A.
Argentina cruised past Bolivia, beating La Verde 4-1. Lautaro came on in the 63rd minute and, two minutes later, had increased his side's lead with a tidy finish. It was a special occasion in the Argentine camp; Messi overtook Mascherano to take the overall record of appearances for the Albiceleste, and he celebrated in style with a brace and an assist for Papu Gomez. Argentina will take on Ecuador in the quarter-finals.
