Copa America: Best XI after the group stages

#Winger-Everton Moraes (Brazil/Gremio)

Peru v Brazil: Group A - Copa America Brazil 2019

Winger Everton Moraes has been the surprise package for Brazil in this Copa America, proving to be an irresistible threat down the Selecao left wing, a position vacated by the injury absence of Neymar. The 23-year-old's selection into the Brazil squad ahead of the likes of Juventus' Douglas Costa and Tottenham's Lucas Moura had initially raised eyebrows but all doubts have been put to rest as the youngster scored 2 goals in three games for the tournament hosts.

Almost unstoppable when he gets going, the Gremio youngster scored two carbon-copy goals in the group stages, cutting in from the left flank to blast in long rangers in both instances. With David Neres underperforming, Tite will look to Everton to provide the spark for Brazil in the coming matches.

#Forward-Edinson Cavani (Uruguay/Paris Saint-Germain)

Chile v Uruguay: Group C - Copa America Brazil 2019

32-year-old PSG striker Edinson Cavani is fast becoming the attacking spearhead of Uruguay ahead of Barcelona's Luis Suarez. The experienced PSG striker has already netted two goals in La Celeste's opening three group games, grabbing the all-important winner against Chile that helped Uruguay finish top of Group C.

Both his goals have been sensational individual efforts-his first goal against Ecuador being a sensational overhead kick and his second against Chile, a fantastic strong header from the edge of the box. With the Uruguayan midfield lacking in genuine creativity, it will be upto Suarez and Cavani to create and finish the goals if Oscar Tabarez's men are to progress deeper into this year's Copa America.
