#2 Cavani in the eye of the storm
Trending
Save for Diego Godin, the rest of Uruguay has been no great shakes in this special edition of the Copa America. But one man who will be the cynosure of all the brickbats back in the homeland is Edinson Cavani, who once again disappointed massively in the attack.
With Luis Suarez fretting helplessly on the sidelines, the PSG marksman was supposed to be shouldering the mantle in his absence, but Cavani was once again wasteful with his chances.
In the opening quarter, Cavani had a great chance to open the scorings after Gonzalez set him up with a neat cut back, but had his tame effort went wide of the post. Shortly after, the 29-year old was presented with another chance when he was about to get to the end of a free-kick from Ramirez, but failed to connect with the ball.
In the dying embers of the game, the striker fluffed two more opportunities, the first in which he had the entire frame at his mercy, thereby summing up his Copa America campaign.
Following a prolific season with his club side, Cavani was touted to be one of the star attractions of the competition and also a key player for Uruguay. But after two utterly dismal showings, he has besmirched his face by his own hands (or rather his feet).
