Uruguay secure top spot in group as US crash out of Copa America

KANSAS CITY, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Mathias Olivera struck a second-half winner as Uruguay dumped the United States out of the Copa America with a 1-0 victory over the tournament hosts on Monday.

Uruguay broke the deadlock just after the hour when United States goalkeeper Matthew Turner parried away a Ronald Araujo header - following Nicolas de la Cruz's set piece - only to see Olivera bundle in the rebound.
