Charlotte, July 14 (UNI) Sergio Rochet saved a crucial spot-kick as Uruguay overcame Canada 4-3 on penalties in the Copa America third-place playoff on Saturday.
Rodrigo Bentancur put Uruguay ahead in Charlotte with a powerful eighth-minute strike but Ismael Kone equalized with an acrobatic overhead kick shortly after.
The game looked headed for a 1-1 stalemate before substitute Jonathan David bundled home from close range after Rochet parried away Kone's long-range effort 10 minutes from time.
