Uruguay were able to finally gain some points in the Copa America tournament after overcoming Jamaica 3-0 at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The result of this match did not make much of a difference since both teams were already eliminated.

However, Uruguay made sure they were not leaving without any points, as Abel Hernandez opened up the scoring in the 21st min.

The next two goals came in the second half, with the first being an own goal from Watson in the 67th minute.

Mathias Corujo who was determined to score, finally got his name on the score sheet in final moments of the game to wrap-up the win and help Uruguay take 3rd place in the group.
