68' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Welch has only been on the field for three minutes but he's already picked up the first yellow card of the match, penalized for catching Nandez late on his follow-through.

Nandez looked to be in serious pain after taking Welch's cleats to his ankle.

66' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Valverde drills a shot from well outside the box that fizzes through traffic and just wide of the far post.

If you saw Valverde's goal against Manchester City in this past season's Champions League, you know the Real Madrid man can hit some sweet strikes.

65' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Panama make their first change, bringing Jovani Welch on for Christian Martínez.

60' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Uruguay make another two subs, bringing on Nicolás de la Cruz and Sebastián Cáceres for Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Mathías Olivera.

59' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

The Panamanian resurgence in this game continues as Rodriguez is the latest to try his luck, sending a curling shot just wide of the target.

Two minutes later, it's Rodriguez again, forcing a diving save from Rochet at the near post!

Having watched Uruguay completely dominate the first half, the shift in this game has been dramatic.

56' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Another chance in quick succession for Panama, this time of their own creation. Miller rises highest to win a header at the back post but fails to direct his effort on target.

Panama have upped their game since halftime.

53' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Panama are gifted a huge opportunity as Uruguay's defense makes a mess of dealing with a long ball from the goalkeeper.

Fajardo collects the ball on the edge of the box and is isolated against one defender. He goes for power over placement with his shot and completely misses the target.

Panama won't get many more free chances like that one, if any.

46' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

The second half picks up right where the first left off, with Nunez missing a big chance – this one a header that he fails to direct on target from close range.

46' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Uruguay made their first sub as the second half begun, replacing Ronald Araujo with José Giménez in a like-for-like change.

Fox has reported that Araujo suffered a knock late in the first half.

46' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

We're back in action in Miami Gardens!

Uruguay 1-0 Panama

HT: Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Death, taxes, and Marcelo Bielsa finding something to sit on top of on the sidelines.

HT: Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Maxi Araújo's goal in the 16th minute was the first that Uruguay have scored from outside the box at Copa America since Luis Suarez did so all the way back in 2011, ending a 13-year streak without such a goal at the tournament.

45+1' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Two minutes are added on to the end of the first half.

45' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

Another massive chance for Nunez goes begging!

A through ball releases him into the box but before he can get his shot off, Miller recovers to make a fantastic tackle and dispossess him!

39' Uruguay 1-0 Panama

This as close to a 1-0 battering as you are likely to see. Uruguay have had 12 shots in less than 40 minutes and are tearing through Panama at will. Somehow it’s 1-0 but there should be plenty here to worry the USMNT ahead of next week’s Group C finale, which may be a battle to top the group. For someone who operates with such ferocious intensity and provides so many instructions, it is really extraordinary how Bielsa has managed to imbue this team so quickly with his particular brand of football.
