"Luis was very sad, he ended up missing in a decisive moment but that's football and life," Edinson Cavani told reporters. "People said before Uruguay were the favourites but being favourites means nothing in football, especially in South America." There is no extra time in Copa America quarter-finals in the event of a draw, although 30 minutes will be added on in the semi-finals and final if necessary. "We have to accept the defeat and congratulate Peru because they didn't do anything against the rules. They tried to slow down the game and they didn't take risks, something we have done many times before."
