Uruguay sealed their passage to the knockout stages of Copa America in style with a thumping win over Bolivia, and Rodrigo Bentancur was one of their goalscorers.

Bentancur makes an impact from the bench

The Tottenham man has not started either of Urugway’s games so far at the tournament, coming on as a late substitute in place of Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde in both matches.

The South American side overcame Panama in their tournament opener before putting on a clinic at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey against Bolivia.

Uruguay emerged 5-0 winners on Friday, with Bentancur coming off the bench to net the final goal of the game. The Tottenham man made a smart run to the far post to meet a free kick with a thumping header.

Spurs Web Opinion

Bentancur was previously one of the first names on Urugway’s teamsheet.

The fact that he is not starting matches is a bit concerning as it is a sign that Marcelo Bielsa does not think that the midfielder is back to the level he was before his ACL injury.
