"Copa America" trophy returns to Montevideo for the first time since 1995. Uruguay, with a population of just over four million, convincingly defeated Paraguay 3-0 in the final on Sunday and took the title from Brazil, who stumbled in the quarter-finals. This was a record fifteenth trophy for Uruguay. Argentina has 14, Brazil has 8, but Uruguay claims four out of the last five. "My grandfather won this trophy, my father as well, and now it's my turn," celebrated Diego Forlan, who scored two goals. "Winning the 'Copa America' three times - the Forlan name will go down in football history. The match was not easy, but we played well. An early goal really helped." In the 12th minute, Luis Suarez led the future champions with a goal, outwitting defender Dario Veron and sending the ball into Justo Villar's goal with a ricochet. Just before the end of the first half, Forlan doubled the lead, and at the end of the match, he scored a third goal after a great pass from Suarez. Uruguay 3 - 0 Paraguay 12' [1 - 0] L.Suarez 42' [2 - 0] D.Forlan 90' [3 - 0] D.Forlan
