This Saturday, at 9pm (Brasília time), the Copa América will have the third place match. Uruguay and Canada will face each other at the Bank of America Stadium, in Charlotte, with broadcast on SporTV.
The match is being viewed in different ways by the teams. Canada is motivated by its great performance in the competition, while Uruguay is shaken by not having secured a place in the final.
Therefore, coach Marcelo Bielsa may field a completely different team from the last few games. There is a possibility that the Uruguayan coach will give minutes to players who have played little in the Copa América.

Canada, meanwhile, is looking to end its campaign in an even more dignified manner. The Canadians used the Copa América as preparation for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the country, alongside the USA and Mexico.
