Uruguay players celebrate after Ecuador's Arturo Mina scored an own goal and Uruguay's fourth. (REUTERS)Uruguay crushed Ecuador 4-0 in their Copa America opener on Sunday with help from an early sending off that deflated their opponents and assured the 15-times champions the simplest of starts to their campaign.
Uruguay were already leading 1-0 from a sixth minute Nicolas Lodeiro goal when Jose Quintero was shown a VAR-assisted red card for throwing an arm in an aerial challenge.
The 23rd minute sending off put Uruguay firmly in the driving seat and Edinson Cavani with an acrobatic volley and Luis Suarez with a poacher's goal made it 3-0 by half-time.
The Uruguayans took their foot off the pedal in an uneventful second half but an own goal from Arturo Mina 12 minutes from time, confirmed by VAR, sealed a miserable night for Ecuador.
'We had our chances in the first half and we took them. That allowed us to manage the game,' Cavani said. 'They went down to 10 men and that allowed us to control the match.'
The result, Uruguay's biggest win in the Copa America since 1967, puts them top of Group C, with Japan to play Chile in the second group game tomorrow.
Ecuador, one of only two South American sides never to win the tournament, looked poor throughout the game at the Mineirao stadium and will have to recover quickly before facing Chile, the current Copa America champions in Salvador on Friday.
Uruguay's next match is against Japan in Porto Alegre on Thursday.
Qatar shake up Copa with thrilling comeback against Paraguay
Qatar's Boualem Khoukhi celebrates scoring their second goal with teammates (REUTERS)Qatar fought their way back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Paraguay in their first ever Copa America game on Sunday, proving they will be no pushovers in the tournament by pulling off a thrilling revival at a near-empty Maracana stadium.
The 2022 World Cup hosts are one of two guest teams at the South American championship along with Japan. However, their debut got off to a nightmare start when Paraguay's Oscar Cardozo smashed in from the penalty spot in the fourth minute.
Qatar, who swept to victory at the Asian Cup by scoring 19 goals and only conceding once, caused their opponents plenty of problems later in the half but failed to capitalise, with striker Almoez Ali missing a glaring attempt from close range.
Statics. Early in the second half Cardozo had another strike ruled out after a VAR-review but Paraguay did not have to wait long to double their lead as Derlis Gonzalez struck in the 56th minute with a long-range rocket.
Qatar's brave performance looked to be in vain until Ali made amends for spurning an earlier sitter by pulling his side back into the game with a distance strike which looped into the net in the 68th minute.
Nine minutes later, Boualem Khoukhi levelled with a scrappy finish helped by some poor goalkeeping from Paraguay's Robert Fernandez.
'We dominated the game in several phases and despite being 2-0 down the team never stopped believing,' said Qatar's Spanish manager Felix Sanchez, who began his coaching career in Barcelona's youth system.
Matias Rojas squandered a chance to restore Paraguay's lead late on but Qatar could have snatched victory themselves in stoppage time when they burst forward on the counterattack but the promising move came to an end due to a misplaced pass.
Colombia lead Group B on three points after beating Argentina 2-0 on Saturday, while Paraguay and Qatar have a point each.

Qatar meet Colombia on Wednesday, with Paraguay facing fourth-placed Argentina.
Paraguay coach Eduardo Berizzo, meanwhile, criticised his side for failing to keep possession.
'Our midfield was not capable of holding on to the ball, we really struggled to play our usual style,' he said.
'We were facing a very good team and we needed to construct more plays in midfield. The result is both a prize and a punishment for what we did in the game.'

Japan v Uruguay — Japan earned their first point of this tournament and their second ever in the Copa América after a gutsy display in Porto Alegre. It was certainly a case of old vs new as the invited nation lined up with nine players that hadn't even been born when Uruguay coach Óscar Tabarez took charge of the side for the first time.
Japan v UruguayGoals: 1-0 (Koji Miyoshi, 25′), 1-1 (Luis Suarez, 32'), 2-1 (Miyoshi, 59′) 2-2 (Jose Maria Gimenez, 66′)
Similar to their opener against Chile the majority U23s side made a bright start, and unlike the last game they managed to find the net. A sweeping pass from captain Shibasaki opened up the pitch and saw Koji Miyoshi square up Diego Laxalt.
The AC Milan defender was carrying an injury (he would be subbed off straight after the goal) and was easily beaten, but Miyoshi still had a tight angle to aim at as he kept his calm. Muslera conceded his first goal for Uruguay after 409 minutes, in fact, the last time he had conceded was also against Japan in a friendly last October. For the Blue Samurai (playing in white in Porto Alegre) it was just reward for their dynamic and intense start as they constantly looked to keep looking forward and create opportunities.

But the fledgeling side's commitment to attack was always going to create space for the Uruguayan old guard of Edinson Cavani and Suárez to cause problems. After 32 minutes they were level, a penalty awarded by VAR after the PSG striker had tried to connect with a long ball but had been impeded by the high challenge of Ueda.
Barcelona's Luis Suárez converted from the spot, his fifth goal in four Copa América games a run dating back to the 2011 semifinals. Soon after Cavani almost got a goal for himself, a thunderous left-footed effort from 30 yards crashed onto the crossbar.
In the second half the early patterns were similar, Uruguay slightly sloppy and Japan energetic and causing problems. There was an early penalty shout for the Asian side, waved away twice by the referee – first on the pitch and then after receiving advice in his ear. The Salto strikeforce threatened soon after, both Cavani and Suárez volleying over the bar within the space of a minute.

It was the Celeste who seemed more likely to get the third goal, a sharp turn by Suárez found his strike partner but the PSG striker didn't know whether to lift the ball over veteran goalkeeper Kawashima or go for power, in the end, he did neither, and the halfhearted attempt was pushed away. The 15-time champions weren't keeping the ball well, but they always knew they had the outlet of Suárez and Cavani and could go long, it is a weapon that could be key in the latter stages of this competition in tight games.
Japan were the team to break the stalemate and take the lead for the second time in the match, a rapid counter moved the ball from right to left, and Nakajima's cross was met by a weak outstretched hand of Muslera. The ball fell to Miyoshi who tucked away his second goal of the night on his first start.
The game was end to end, but Uruguay were mainly attempting from a distance in open play, Suárez again tested the goalkeeper as he flicked up a pass to himself and volleyed from outside the box. From the resulting corner, their seventh of the night, Josema Giménez attacked the near post and glanced in the equalizer.
The charruas may have felt they could have taken all three points, in the 80thminute a Cáceres cross was headed onto the bar by the Pistolero Suárez. But Japan didn't bow their heads and kept looking to go forward and defended spiritedly until the final minute. A huge result for this experimental side, while for Uruguay a reality check after the dream opener.
