Nunez scores again as Uruguay beat Bolivia

Darwin Nunez scored in his seventh consecutive match for Uruguay as they breezed past Bolivia 5-0 in the Copa America.

The striker netted the second goal of the victory in New Jersey that leaves his nation on the brink of qualification for the quarter-finals.

Nunez dispatched a clinical finish past goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra inside the penalty area in minute 21 after meeting Maximiliano Araujo's pass.

Liverpool's No.9 was a starter for Marcelo Bielsa's side once again and played 83 minutes of the contest before he was replaced by Luis Suarez.

Uruguay sit top of Group C with a 100 per cent record and would advance to the last eight by avoiding defeat to the USA in the early hours on Tuesday, with even a defeat in that tie likely to see them go through due to superior goal difference.
